I have been thinking on this for long, what power are they supposed to wield constitutionally?

Very powerful but they operate from the background. The COS is always the power behind the throne but he operates unseen to the public. Abba Kyari attracted so much hatred to himself because he operated openly and took all the political bullets for his boss.

Personally, I won’t blame him because of the circumstances of the Buhari Presidency. He hardly leaves Buhari’s side because of the obvious inadequacy of the president. Leaving Buhari’s side at any point in time would amount to exposing the president’s inadequacy and leaving him to the wicked and corrupt machination of political hawks in and outside government. Sadly, that is why most people hate in and out of government hated him. They sponsored so much propaganda against him and the public bought into their propaganda.

He schedules meetings and functions for the president, so he can decide to cancel your meeting with the president if he likes.

He decides the type of information that will reach the president,
That's absolute power.

Oga the person in a better position to answer your Question is the Mr President

@OP right here is the answer you seek

The Chief of staff is only 'very powerful' under a docile president...

Most persons will act like the Late Abba Kyari if they work under Buhari.... You will just be like the de facto president because the president himself knows little

only where president don't anything, did you hear it during obj regime?
