Gambari was Ambassador/Permanent Representative of Nigeria to the United Nations . He also served as Joint AU/UN Special Representative in Darfur and Head of UNAMID . He is currently a Chairperson of the Panel of Eminent Persons of the African Peer Review Mechanism. In describing the role played by Gambari in defending Abacha and his regime’s draconian policies while he was Nigeria’s Permanent Representative at the United Nations, Sowore wrote that “If the Abacha repressive regime were a soccer team, Professor Ibrahim Gambari would be one of the ‘1st 11 players’ or at least a quarter back on the reserve bench in the government squad.”

The ambassador did not mince words in passing a verdict on Gambari when he said he entertained no doubt that he would “substitute the national interests for his own personal interests.”
