A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Delta State, Honourable Cairo Ojougboh, has congratulated immediate past Speaker of the House of Representatives, Honorable Femi Gbajabiamila on the latter appointment as Chief of Staff to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Honourable Ojougboh, who was in the Green Chamber with the former Speaker between 2003 – 2007, said the appointment did not take him aback as he noted that given Honourable Gbajabiamila’s proven track records, the appointment was well deserved.
“Your efforts and loyalty to Tinubu over the years have never been in doubt, you sure deserve every honour you are getting today,” he declared.

His statement reads in part:” I congratulate you on your new appointment as Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, you are surely the right man with proven track records for the office, and your appointment is well deserved.
