Femi Gbajabiamila, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, has officially been designated President Bola Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, according to a new report.
According to a Daily Independent article, this event would result in Gbajabialmila’s lower legislative chamber seat becoming empty, which would immediately disqualify him from serving in the forthcoming 10th National Assembly.
During the general election, the charismatic Gbajabiamila was chosen to serve a sixth term in the lower chamber as the representative of Lagos State’s Surulere Federal Constituency.
According to PMNews, his chief of staff, Olanrewaju Smart Wasiu, published the following on his official Facebook page on Thursday morning:
“After several hours of meetings and consultations, President Bola Tinubu has made his first appointment, picking the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, as the president’s Chief of Staff.”
