That the newly unveiled Chief of Staff to Prsident Muhammadu Buhari is Professor Ibrahim Agboola Gambari is no more news. he was announced to the post by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, yesterday. However, some are wondering if he has the energy for the post given his advanced age. They point to the fact the new CoS is 75 years old. With his age would he be able to cope with the frenetic pace of his office? Netizens pointed to the fact the President Buhari has a penchant for old men. They point the president past appointments like the former CoS Mallam Abba Kyari who died at the age of 67 earlier on17 April, the Minister of Agriculture who is 72 years, etc. Some have also likened Buhari's government to a gerontocracy.
Others accuse him of nepotism and favoritism. Some even joked that Nigeria scrapped the study of History in schools because those who are supposed to be studied are still in power. Below are some tweets.
