The Emir of Ilorin and Chairman, Kwara State Council of Chiefs, Mai-Martaba Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, has thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for appointing Professor Ibrahim Gambari as his new Chief of Staff.

Alhaji Sulu-Gambari in a statement signed by his Media Aide, Mallam Abdulazeez Arowona described the appointment as a great honour to the entire people of Ilorin Emirate and Kwarans at large. However, the presidency is yet to confirm the appointment. The president’s media aides and officials from the office of Secretary to the Government of the Federation, declined comment on the said appointment. They asked our reporters to wait for an official statement.

Prof. Gambari will be replacing Mallam Abba Kyari, who died in April, after battling COVID-19.

Alhaji Sulu-Gambari noted that the choice of the former diplomat would be justified by his outstanding contributions, administrative experience, scholarship and excellence which he would inject into the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government towards ensuring good governance, democratic dividends as well as shared prosperity in the nation. While congratulating Professor Gambari on the new appointment, the monarch wished him a successful tenure in office even as he expressed confidence in his ability to justify the confidence reposed in him by President Muhammadu Buhari.

“He will surely bring to fore his wealth of experience as an academician, former Minister, former Diplomat, former University Chancellor, Prince of the renown Alimi dynasty, family man and community leader of high repute”.

Professor Ibrahim Gambari is the Wambai of Ilorin Emirate. He is a Nigerian scholar and diplomat.

He was Minister for External Affairs between 1984 and 1985.

Gambari was appointed by the then secretary-general of United Nations Ban Ki-moon and the chairperson of the African Union Commission as Joint African Union-United Nations Special Representative for Darfur in 2010.

Yoruba Amaka

Beside, he has Yoruba's Surname.

Yoruba's tribal mark

Ghostwon65:

Actually we don't let the yoruba claim Lagos, and we don't let the Yoruba speak on our behalf, but the Yoruba are scam artists.
They will rewrite your own history before your very eyes, you will of course know they are lying but the unsuspecting foreigner would believe they speak on your behalf. They lie too much.
You saw what happened between the Oba if Lagos and the ooni of ife.
The ooni took Yoruba madness to a new level by claiming Lagos was founded by an ife prince and the Oba of Lagos didn't like that Yoruba lie and showed his appreciation to the ooni of ife.

Is illorin Yoruba or Fulani?

Our brain have been programmed by ruling class to fight between each other along ethnic lines.

Of what different does it make if he’s Yoruba or Fulani, we should judge people based on their merit and not their ethnicity.

The man in question has a good resume, but he’s part of Nigeria problem, he has been in the corridor of power since the creation of Nigeria with no meaning impact

Buhari has Appointed 75-year-old Former External Affairs Minister, Gambari , As Chief Of Staff

When I have not been briefed

Finally, I have been briefed. Congrats to him!

Hold your horses

Yesterday, many Afonjarudeens (not Yorubas) were jubilating that 'Agboola' has been appointed as new CoS. I had to let them know that Gambari is a Fulani descendant of Alimi who murdered Afonja and took over Ilorin till date.
The Alaafin placed a curse on Afonja which was just recently lifted by the current Alaafin for treachery.
It's like many of them are suffering from Stockholm Syndrome where the victim starts falling in love with the oppressors.
As an old trick in the book Fulanis after conquering an area will adopt the local names of the community to make it hard for the locals not to see them as not being originally part of that community, that's why the current Emir bears Sulu 'Kolapo' Gambari when he was a justice, now he has removed 'Kolapo' and calls himself Mai-Martaba

They sometimes even answer the names of the town's they are staying to contest elections and deceive the original inhabitants such as Issa Funtua, Aminu Kano, Sule Maitama, Aliyu Gusau, Dahiru Bauchi, Maman Daura, Aminu Massari etc these are Fulanis holding political positions in mostly Hausa towns.

Ibaa Gani Adams has always maintained that a Yoruba Oba must be installed in Ilorin, the last attempt by late former Governor Mohammed Lawal who installed a First Class Balogun was resisted by the Sultan leading to him losing reelection and the Balogun was quickly removed following the emergence of Bukola Saraki as Governor, this was part of the precondition negotiated by his father Oloye for northern support prior to Bukola election in 2003.
The Baloguns deposition and death of Mohammed Lawal in controversial circumstances led to protests by Yorubas in Ilorin which was brutally crushed leaving several people dead.

Ilorin reminds me of the Story of #Afonja

I tell people to be careful of their actions for it may affect generations.

Kwara is a Fulani state

He's from my state. I've a friend who's a relation of the Emir. Let me go and network small.

Ilorin is the real afonja

The Emir has cleverly removed Kolapo that he bore for long as Justice of court of appeal in Ibadan.They surely know how to play the game.See how Agboola that was downplayed in the Prof's name suddenly sprang up.
