President Muhammadu Buhari has directed his new Chief of Staff, Professor Ibrahim Agboola Gambari to cancel all appointments and approvals the late Chief of staff Abba Kyari personally made without his permission.
Though no reason was given for the President’s action, however, reports indicated that no less than 150 memos without President Buhari’s authorization may have been uncovered.
According to a source,“By this new development, every official action carried out by the late COS without presidential approval may have been declared null and void and of no effect.”
Meanwhile, it was further learnt that an audit of the late Kyari’s office and all the appointments and official actions he carried out without the president’s nod will be investigated.
Kyari caved in to the fangs of the ravaging coronavirus in a Lagos hospital after testing positive to the pandemic prevailing across the globe with the number of victims steadily rising in Nigeria.
The job of the Chief of Staff makes the occupier the closet person to the President and easily the most powerful staff in the Presidency.
The death of Kyari came at a time his role as the alter ego of President Buhari’s Presidency loomed so large that some observers called him de facto president and frontline field commander of the so-called cabal.
When the late Chief of Staff contracted the highly contagious and lethal coronavirus, also known as COVID-19; the accident helped to drive home the point that contrary to general public cynicism, COVID-19 was not only real but also shows no respect for race, complexion or continent.
