In the words of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, “Professor Gambari has all it takes to provide leadership to the President’s team. An academic giant who attained the rank of a Professor of Political Science, a world renowned player and respected global voice in international politics, a former Nigeria’s Foreign Minister, Former Nigeria’s Permanent Representative at the United Nations, a former United Nations Under Secretary General amongst other top National and International positions, the President made an elevated and illustrious choice as his Chief of Staff”.
