All Progressives Congress (APC) Professionals Council, a group within the ruling party, has passed vote of confidence on Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff (COS) to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, describing him as a man of integrity and long-standing excellence, even as it noted that allegation against him was childish and an outburst of desperate politicians who want to cause crisis where none exists.
The Council passed the confidence vote in a statement issued by its National Director General, Hon. Seyi Bamigbade, in reaction to media report alleging that Gbajabiamila was selling appointment slots to the highest bidders, most times denying the president’s choice of opportunity to be appointed.
The Council dismissed the allegation as spurious and unfounded, saying that the former Speaker, House of Representatives had over the decades distinguished himself as a man of honour and without blemish.
According to APC Professionals Council, the allegation is the handiwork of desperate politicians who want to pitch the Chief of Staff, pointing out that it was heart-warming to note that Mr. President, knowing the personality of his Chief of Staff had equally passed a vote of confidence in him.
The body, therefore, called on all well-meaning Nigerians “to ignore the allegation and treat it like a tissue of lie that it is”
“The accusation against Rt. Hon. Gbajabiamila can best be described as childish and an outburst of desperate politicians who want to cause crisis where none exists.
“As one of the longest-serving members of the National Assembly, Rt. Hon. Gbajabiamila has distinguished himself as a man of honour and verifiable integrity.
“It’s also heart-warming to note that Mr. President, knowing the personality of his Chief of Staff has equally passed a vote of confidence in him.
“We call on all well-meaning Nigerians to ignore the allegation and treat it like a tissue of lie that it is,” the Council said.
