Idiot, even the president answers to the public and the constitution like every cabinet minister and appointee!
Olodo gambari!

They said this fool studied in America and worked at the UN so he is globally qualified but he does not know a basic rule that he swears to the constitution and people of Nigeria not the president!

For a diplomat of his calibre and age and experience, I'm shocked at his response. He was very undiplomatic, very untactful to say the least.
I mean, even a fool knows you report to the President but common sense should therefore have prevailed because when you report to the President, you are more or less reporting to the Public, the Country. No need shooting from the hips, given the situation in the Country and the circumstances leading to his appointment.

A response like this would have been more diplomatic: "I intend to carry out my duties to best of my abilities hopefully to the satisfaction of Mr. President and the Country''

I am seriously disappointed by this man from Day One, and i do not need Prophet T.B. J to tell me this man's regime will be FIRE compared to Abba Kyari's FRY PAN. Like the Americans would say, ''You ain't seen anything yet''

grin all of a sudden some Nigerians have by Prejudice made the position of COS a very enviable position. A position by appointment and not by election.

Just to educate you,the COS to the President is a personal staff of the president, it is not an elective position and so does not answer to Nigerians.
Next time check your ignorance before you are quick to abuse others. MUMU.



We all know the bolded in your comment. But it is FRUSTRATION from POVERTY and HUNGER that makes people act so BITTER on Nairaland. POVERTY and HUNGER honestly. At least the high rate of begging on this forum is an indicator to that. As well as LAZINESS. Nairaland has become a hub where people come to ease their FRUSTRATIONS and waste their precious time arguing

gawu1:

This was his statement:
"I don’t report directly to the nation, I report to the President”.
By those your interpretation of his statement, l now reason why young people like me and you will hardly get this type of job. It seems we don't have understanding of the job

Officer Gawu,
His statement has two legs, one - he is a direct report of the President and accountable to him; two - he is not a direct report does not have accountability to Nigeria.

His statement is called "disclaimer".

Why does this matter?

The implication of two is that his actions, for whatever they shall be, cannot be scrutinized by Nigeria....in essence, he cannot be queried or called by NASS.

NASS represents the people.

Do you see that political angle or not?

Professor, on his first day at the job is assigning to himself "immunity". grin

His office does not need an oath but he will be present in briefings on national security. This makes him accountable to the nation while directly reporting to Buhari.

His statement was a disclaimer to that effect and suggests he is not open to scrutiny by the nation.

They are the President's private staff, paid by government as benefit to the president. they are not public servants.

Soon you will ask the President's cook and driver to report to the public. Nonsense
Stop being silly. Obviously, you are the one who is filled with nonsense, because you cannot see that the CoS interferes with matters of state.

If truly he is a domestic staff of the president, then he should be restricted to the president's domestic affairs.

Check your constitution for the meaning of a public servant or a public official.
