First, Gambari understands communication is critical to the political process. Buhari is not a Leviathan or an Emir but the servants of the people having been democratically elected.
Ibrahim Gambari, Nigeria’s former permanent representative to the United Nations and a former foreign minister last week replaced the late Abba Kyari pas President Buhari’s chief of staff.
