There have been speculations from different quarters on who will take over the position left by the late Kyari.

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole and other national leaders have been told to recommend a new chief of staff to President Muhammadu Buhari.

The APC Forum of State Chairmen made the request following the demise of Abba Kyari, who died of coronavirus complication last week.

There have been speculations from different quarters on who will take over the position left by the late Kyari.

In a statement signed by the forum’s chairman, who is also the Borno State APC Chairman, Ali Bukar Dalori, he warned that the office of Chief of Staff was vital to the attainment of the policies of the president hence should be appointed by the party’s hierarchy.

According to him, the job of a Chief of Staff is to help the president move the economy and achieve his goals hence should not be taken lightly.

“We commiserate also with the government of Borno State, Borno APC and the bereaved family.

“It is pertinent that we state that those jostling to replace Abba Kyari should know that it is a job of a confidant, who will help the president to achieve his goals in governance.

“The forum calls on the leadership of APC to find a way to help in stabilising the president and possibly recommend somebody that would be an asset as a Chief of Staff,” he said.
