The speaker, who secured a sixth term as the representative of Surulere federal constituency in Lagos state, made the announcement through his chief of staff, Olanrewaju Smart Wasiu, on his official Facebook page on Thursday morning, June 1..
The statement reads, “After extensive deliberations and consultations, President Bola Tinubu has made his first appointment, selecting the speaker of the house of representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, as the president’s chief of staff.”
Wasiu noted that President Tinubu’s decision to appoint Gbajabiamila came after thoroughly evaluating various potential candidates among his loyalists.
He added that the decision was motivated by the president’s desire to have someone who could assist in persuading lawmakers in the national assembly to support his proposed policies…..
