Nigerians are still reacting to the appointment of Professor Ibrahim Gambari as President Muhammadu Buhari’s Chief of Staff with some expressing displeasure at the appointment of a ‘Fulani’.
While congratulating Gambari for his new job, Festus Keyamo, the Minister of State for Labour and Employment expressed disappointment that many Nigerians are calling out the Buhari-led government for appointing more people from the northern part of the country.
Keyamo wrote: “Profound congratulations also from us to Professor Ibrahim Gambari. We are extremely proud and excited to have him on board.
“It is quite sad that we have pushed ourselves to the point in this country that when any public appointment is announced, most Nigerians would first research the tribe of the appointee before they research his academic qualifications and competence for the job!”
Taking to the comment section, some Nigerians told him that the imbalance in Buhari’s appointments is too obvious. See comments below.
