In a significant development, Femi
Gbajabiamila, the former Speaker of the House of
Representatives, embarked on a
new chapter of his political career by assuming the role of Chief of Staff to
President Bola Tinubu. The transition took place at the Presidential Villa on a
Wednesday, marking an important moment in Nigerian politics.
Before taking up his new position,
Gbajabiamila formally resigned from his membership in the House of
Representatives. The announcement of his resignation was made by the
newly-sworn-in Speaker, Tajudeen Abbas, who read Gbajabiamila’s resignation
letter on the floor of the House.
Gbajabiamila, in his customary manner, took to
his Twitter handle to share the news of his assumption of duty. Expressing his
gratitude to God, he revealed the details of his resignation from the 10th
House of Representatives.
In his final act as a member of the House,
Gbajabiamila had the privilege of moving the first motion in the newly
inaugurated session. The motion focused on the urgent need to prepare and take
preventive measures against the projected heavy flooding that posed a threat to
several parts of the country. Demonstrating his dedication to public service,
the House responded positively to the motion, passing the necessary
resolutions.
Following this significant moment, Speaker
Tajudeen Abbas read Gbajabiamila’s resignation letter to the House,
subsequently declaring his seat vacant. This decision opened up an opportunity
for the people of Surulere 1 Federal Constituency to elect a replacement who
would represent their interests and concerns in the House of Representatives.
With his resignation formalized, Femi
Gbajabiamila wasted no time in assuming his new role as the Chief of Staff to
the President. Embracing his responsibilities with enthusiasm, he expressed his
readiness to collaborate with President Bola Tinubu in the pursuit of the
Renewed Hope agenda for Nigeria. This agenda was expected to address critical
issues and foster positive change across various sectors of the nation.
As Femi Gbajabiamila embarked on his journey
as the Chief of Staff, Nigerians awaited the unfolding of this new chapter in
their country’s political landscape. With his wealth of experience and
dedication to public service, he was poised to play a crucial role in
supporting President Tinubu’s administration and working towards a better
future for Nigeria.
