Abba Kyari: Buhari appoints 74-yr-old Babagana Kingibe, MKO Abiola’s Vice-presidential running mate as Chief of Staff

President Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly ignored the pleas by Igbo people to appoint his next Chief of Staff from the region and has settled for ex-Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babagana Kingibe.

Kingibe has reportedly replaced Abba Kyari, who passed on last week, after battling coronavirus.

 

The late 67-year-old lawyer, businessman and politician served President Muhammadu Buhari from 2015 till his death on Friday.

However, Tell authoritatively reported on Sunday that Kingibe, who has served the nation in different capacities as a diplomat, Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1993 to 1995, Minister of Internal Affairs from 1995 to 1997, Minister of Power and Steel from 1997 to 1998; and Secretary to the Government of the Federation from 2007 to 2008, has been appointed to fill the vacant position.

The magazine reports that Kingibe has been acting as Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari since Kyari left the Presidency for treatment.
