Born on April 2, 1952, the Chief of Staff was a good man. His good reputation preceded him in the government. I had heard stories of how people liked him. But I didn’t know him until his appointment— first as the Secretary to the State Government and, later, as the CoS. My encounters with him were refreshingly pleasant. The low power distant index (PDI) of the people around him defied the Ibn Khalidun’s postulation of how princes and princesses with their power and arrogance were sometimes responsible for how their lineages lost out of grace with the people.
