President Muhammadu Buhari’s chief of staff, Ibrahim Gambari, believes his boss is leaving a legacy of free and fair elections in the country as he prepares to leave office.
Gambari spoke on Thursday in Abuja at the premiere of “Maryam Ado Bayero: A Woman of Royal Virtue,” a biography of the mother of Kano and Bichi emirs.
The late Maryam was the wife of Kano’s late emir, Ado Bayero.
According to the chief of staff, Buhari worked on economic diversification and oil reforms.

“Mr. President is finishing his eight years term in office strong and well, leaving behind many legacies, which include the foundation of a free and fair election that has produced the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu,” he said.
“It has also produced the legacy of achievements in the area of diversification of our economy, reforms of the petroleum industry and infrastructure.”
“A few days ago, we saw him commission the second Niger bridge, major parts of the Kano-Abuja expressway as well as several roads and bridges. And, of course, he is finishing strong and well in pushing back the enemies of Nigeria through insurgency and other forms of criminalities.”
Gambari quoted the president as saying that Maryam Ado Bayero deserves a Guinness World Record.
“As a professor of political science and a student of history myself, I am yet to stumble on a more interesting personality such as my late elder sister, who in her lifetime had the good fortune of being the granddaughter of an emir, the 7th emir of Ilorin; daughter of another emir (8th emir of Ilorin) and wife to an outstanding revered emir of Kano, late Ado Bayero and mother of two emirs (Bichi and Kano),” he said.
“This should have entered the Guinness Book of Records. By virtue of this great piece of history by Ambassador Sani Hajo (author), we have captured and immortalized her life and works for future generations to rely on as a compass.”
