Following the death of the chief of staff to the president, Abba Kyari, the president may appoint a personal secretary instead of a new chief of staff, a new report has found.

President Muhammadu Buhari can opt for a personal secretary to replace the late Abba Kyari if he is not disposed to appointing a new Chief of Staff.

This was made known by retired Brig. General Jones Arogbofa, a former chief of staff to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan.

Arogba said no law compels President Buhari to appoint a new chief of staff after losing Kyari to Coronavirus (COVID-19) last week Friday.

The retired general stated these while appearing as a guest on Channels TV’s ‘Politics Today’ on Thursday.

“Legally, the President can afford not to appoint another CoS, he may decide to use a personal secretary,” Arogbofa said in response to a question asked by the anchor, Seun Okinbaloye.

Arogbofa however said if the president must appoint a replacement for Kyari, he must “Look for people who have the qualifications, people who are flexible, people who have the ability to get the job done.”

Also responding to a question on why some people refer to the chief of staff as the de facto president of the federation, the retired general said: “Anywhere in the world, the Chief of Staff is powerful. Anybody who controls human and material resources for an organisation is surely powerful.”

Buhari has never in his creepy life appoint anyone with the right qualifications!
He's not that intelligent to know who's qualified for the job.

You hit nail for head. Let him even appoint 30 chief of staff . One for everyday of the Month but let him hurry up.

Wiseandtrue:
So this country has no constitution again bah

The president can just do whatever he wills and at any time

Even after 5years, this government is not ready for anything

No wonder the country is the way it is.

Pictures of him or Osibanjo brainstorming will soon flood the internet

That it!!! That's all this government does, talk, take pictures then resume talking

I mean, Osibanjo has been brainstorming since, have we seen any positive impact

The position of the chief of staff is not explicitly stated in the constitution. So he is right.

I think Obasanjo was the first to actually use a cos.

Whatever buhari wants to do he should to it already who cares after all he does what he pleases but funny n factual enough he is not God but mare mortal

Are you serious about this?

Buhari can finish his tenure without a Chief of Staff. It's not a constitutional requirement.

Abba Kyari made the office larger than life because of his loyalty to his boss n also the amount of powers that PMB allowed him to weld.

Who cares?

Cabal may appoint

pls which of the buhari. is it the one in a shallow grave at Saudi Arabia or, I don't understand....
for your info, we don't have a president,,,we only have presidency
as for jubril. they will soon murder him....
