Founder of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore has slammed Bola Tinubu after the former Lagos State Governor reacted to the appointment of Ibrahim Gambari as the new Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari.

Sowore, a human rights activist and #RevolutionNow convener is accusing the 68-year-old national leader of the All Progressive Congress party of turning a blind eye during the “pro-democracy days.”

The activist, in a Wednesday tweet, said Tinubu, “and the rest of his sojourners” who “were in bed with the enemies of the Nigerian people … will all face ultimate disgrace.”
Meanwhile, Tinubu in his reaction had said the appointment of Professor Ibrahim Agboola Gambari as the new Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari is a laudable one.

He said: “I congratulate Professor Gambari on his selection and commend President Buhari for making such a thoughtful and prudent choice at this crucial moment.

“Just as he did in the past when he served as Minister of External Affairs in the 1980s. My personal knowledge of Chief of Staff Gambari is that he is an erudite man who knows and loves this country, who strongly believes in the Nigerian project & President’s change agenda.”

Tinubu added: “He is no stranger to our party, APC, and its progressive national vision. Over a long and illustrious career, Prof. Gambari has proved his mettle nationally and internationally. His resume takes a back seat to none.”
On the other hand, Sowore had this to say about Gambari in an article he published online: “Professor Ibrahim Gambari, who some people claim is an intelligent man, used his ‘intelligence’ to defend the draconian policies of the Abacha regime while he was Nigeria’s Permanent Representative at the United Nations. He was one of Abacha’s equivalents of the ‘goebel’ representing the infamous dictator with vigor and a propensity that could only be found in fascist Italy of old.”
