President Bola Tinubu has thrown his full support behind Femi Gbajabiamila. The President dismissed allegations against his Chief of Staff and called for an end to what he described as a campaign of calumny.
ABUJA — President Bola Tinubu has publicly defended his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, following allegations linking him to a reported fake agency scam. Speaking in Abuja, the President declared his confidence in Gbajabiamila’s integrity and insisted that attacks against the senior government official should stop, according to remarks released by the Presidency.
Tinubu said he had absolute confidence in Gbajabiamila and rejected claims suggesting that his Chief of Staff played any improper role in the matter. The President maintained that his administration would continue to uphold accountability while refusing to accept allegations that have not been proven through due process, according to official statements.
“I have absolute confidence in the integrity of our Chief of Staff. All campaign of calumny and insinuations should stop. The buck stops here,” Tinubu said while addressing the issue. The statement represents the clearest public backing yet from the President since the allegations gained public attention.
The allegations emerged after reports connected the Chief of Staff to claims surrounding a fake agency operation. However, government officials have continued to deny any wrongdoing on his part. As of the time of filing this report, no court has found Gbajabiamila guilty of any offence, and authorities have not announced any conviction relating to the allegations.
The development means the Presidency has chosen to stand firmly behind Femi Gbajabiamila despite growing public scrutiny. The President’s intervention is expected to shape political discussions around the allegations while attention remains on any official investigations or legal proceedings that may provide further clarity on the matter.
