Minister of Education, Alhaji Adamu Adamu, may soon be announced as new Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, to replace the late Malam Abba Kyari.
Malam Kyari died last Friday from Coronavirus.
Kyari, who had a history of diabetes and was 67 years old, died at a private hospital in Lagos on owing to complications from Coronavirus.
A top government source, who spoke with on condition of anonymity, said President Buhari would have preferred running mate to late winner of June 12, 1993 presidential election, Chief M. K. O. Abiola, Alhaji Babagana Kingibe, but was prevailed upon to drop him.
The source said, “The President actually wanted Kingibe but a lot of people prevailed upon him to drop the idea as Kingibe was not trustworthy as he betrayed and abandoned both his previous principals Abiola and Yar’ Adua in their hours of need.”
The announcement of Adamu Adamu’s appointment as new Chief of Staff is expected to happen soon as gathered.
