schema:articleBody	Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday named a former top UN diplomat as his new chief of staff, replacing powerful aide Abba Kyari after he died last month of COVID-19. "Ibrahim Gambari is the new Chief of Staff to President Buhari. He succeeds Abba Kyari, who passed away on April 17, 2020," the presidency wrote on Twitter. Gambari, 75, served as Buhari's foreign minister when he was military ruler of Nigeria in the 1980s and later went on to become a UN under-secretary general for Africa during Kofi Annan's tenure. Kyari's death last month has rocked Nigerian politics. A loyal lieutenant and long-time confidant of the president, Kyari was often viewed as the second most powerful person in the country. He played a vital role as gatekeeper to Buhari and had been accused of using his influence to control the president's decision-making. Political analyst Dapo Thomas said the new chief of staff was seen as an "apolitical" veteran who would not "be swayed by partisan politics, ethnic and religious considerations". "Gambari is a seasoned and respected diplomat who has played significant roles in the international arena," Thomas, an academic at Lagos univesity, told AFP. "He has very intimidating credentials. His coming to government will give more credibility, recognition and respect to the president." Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation, is facing major economic and social challenges from the coronavirus pandemic. The continent's biggest oil producer has seen its revenues collapse due to the drop in crude prices. Nigeria has so far officially recorded 4,787 infections and 158 deaths from the virus, but testing has been limited. ean-joa/del/ri
