One thing that is certain about what he posted is that, this guy once worked for Buhari as a minister of foreign affairs.

Why are old leaders keep getting recycled?, are today youths really the leaders of tommorow?

ContractKiller:
Buhari's New Chief Of Staff Is Gambari Is More Subtle And Even More Dangerous Than Late Abba Kyari

By Ambassador Dapo Fafowora

What I have written in this long piece is just some of my personal experience and encounter with him. Everything I have written here is in my memoirs 'Lest I Forget 'which he has seen and read.

I know him quite well. I was the one who in 1981 brought him to the UN at his request as a member of the Nigerian delegation. He was then a senior lecturer at the ABU. In fact, the late Prof Audu, who was then Foreign Minister actually advised me against inviting him to the UN. But he had strong academic credentials which impressed me.


He had obtained his first degree in political science from the LSE, and a doctorate from Colombia University in New York. We were looking for strong delegates to the UN General Assembly and I considered him the kind of delegate we were looking for. So I invited him as one of our delegates to the UN General Assembly. He was at the UN in New York with me. I gave him and his wife my city apartment which I was not using free for 3 months plus a car. I liked him and I was not seeking any favours from him.

After 3 months he returned home and sent me a note thanking me for giving him the first opportunity to visit the UN as a delegate and giving him his first experience at multilateral diplomacy.

However, he sent President Shagari a secret and private note that while he was at the UN he observed that I had not been attending the meeting of Islamic states at the UN.


President Shagari sent the note to Prof Audu who forwarded it to me in New York. He didn't even ask me for any comments on Gambari's secret memo as Prof Audu fully understood that Nigeria had traditionally not been attending meetings if the Islamic states as we were not then a member of the Group. Gambari asked for a private meeting with President Shagari which Prof Audu advised against. I was shocked that someone I had helped so much turned round to betray me so blatantly. I did not tell him I knew about the secret letter he had sent to the UN. When Shagari was overthrown by Buhari Gambari became Foreign Minister.

When career ambassadors were being suddenly retired I was at first not on the list. But Gambari, now FM and Rafindadi, the head of the NSO who had worked under me in London, and was now head of the NSO worked together to secure my retirement. In fact, when I called him from New York to confirm from him news about my retirement he first denied it.

Thereafter, he no longer took my calls. In fact, I remained at my post in New York for another 3 months during which the MFA tried to reverse the decision to retire me. I had done absolutely nothing wrong in my entire career in the diplomatic service and only got into trouble for helping a young academic who turned against me to fulfil his own personal ambition. Since then, he and I have only met twice in very difficult circumstances. First at a dinner by a mutual friend in New York several years after my retirement.

He could barely look directly at me. He was clearly embarrassed. Then when Buhari won the elections in 2015 I headed a team that was set up to prepare a paper for him on our Foreign Policy. Subsequently, Alhaji Joda asked him to join the team. Last year, he suddenly called me to ask if I would kindly represent him at a public lecture he had agreed to chair.

I told him I could not and that he should look for someone younger. He immediately hung up on me. Now, he may be the kind of person Buhari is looking for to succeed Abba Kyari as COS.

They are very much alike but Gambari is more subtle and even more dangerous and will substitute the national interests for his own personal interests. I have no doubt about that.

What I have written in this long piece is just some of my personal experience and encounter with him. Everything I have written here is in my memoirs 'Lest I Forget 'which he has seen and read.

It is nothing new. But I think it important that the character of our top govt officials should be revealed and not covered up. We have, as a nation, paid dearly for supporting appointments to high office that are often detrimental to our nation.

Enough is enough and this has to stop.

So your personal vendetta against him makes him more dangerous than kyari? Lol you're drunk! But only time will tell
His body language this evening where he hunged up on Seun Okinbaloye of Channel's tv for Ramadan may reveal he is also a fanatic. So, there is a collaboration of the story with his atitude this evening.
The nation was pleased to meet him and know him. But he hunged up.

He can't be more dangerous than Osinbajo.

Osinbajo is deadly and a fraud.

Under him 90bn disappeared in 3 days.....what did he do?...He resorted to intimidating and witch hunting the press.


Osinbajo who out of his 35 aides over 27 were from SW...his people.

He is the vice President of oodua and his people not Nigerians per say.


I wonder what that man will actually be remembered for?
I was shocked when I saw allegations about him, the man seems like a nice man

I don't know if it is a myth but I hear betrayal was why the Fulani's are an occupying force in Kwara sadly I hear it is our Afonja brothers that set the pace. So Oga Dapo should know it is in the blood with no hard feelings.

That character exhibited was in his thirties. He is now heading to become octogenarian in few years, his young age character might have left him. But a traitor is always a traitor. I rest my case.

it is not, what is a cancer is lack of yorubanism, loyalty to the oyo stool, christianity is also a cancer and we must coexist in peace but our loyalty must go to the oyo empire and the yoruba army in waiting OPC

Stupid writer, you want to tarnish an image of a good man. Don't believe this lame political write-up. Go and do proper investigation, check Gambari CV. They say he is old, I watched his presentation. The man is intelligent and active. I feel he deserves it and should be given that opportunity. No sentiment attached! If you do, OYO for you. grin

In life once people realized that they cannot manipulate you then they begin to have hatred in you and see you as a threat to their own existence. The COS must be loyal to his boss, the post wasn't relevance during PDP because of the party nature of sharing money and awarding contract to their cronies without executing none. 1985 coup were IBB was the COS to Buhari has taught him a lesson and Baba Zahra aka Oko Aishat is not ready to make the same mistake of 1985. You need a person that will be 1000 percent loyal to you in that post and not anyhow person like the IPOB wants.
