It was made known that a credible source, confided in Leadership correspondent, while speaking said that, “Yesterday evening, Gbajabiamila visited Wase, Betara and offered them ministerial slot but, they rejected it.

Femi Gbajabiamila, was acting on the instruction of the president-elect, Chief Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who has remained silent since the controversial adoption of Abbas was made public through a text message sent out by an unknown person.
