Nicolas Felix, a former All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, has endorsed House Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila for the position of Chief of Staff to President-elect Bola Tinubu.
WITHIN NIGERIA reports that the Gbajabiamila, one of the trusted and close allies of Tinubu, is being tipped to be the Chief of Staff in the incoming administration.
The speaker is currently on vacation in Paris, France, with the president-elect and his wife, Oluremi, ahead of the May 29 inauguration in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
Felix stated on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Tuesday that Gbajabiamila possesses all of the qualities required to be the next chief of staff and would be a good fit for the position.
The APC chieftain claimed that the Speaker has been with Tinubu for a long time and had earned his trust.
Based on his experience in the National Assembly, Felix believes Gbajabiamila is qualified for the position.
He said;
We have people that are capable, but as a president, if you don’t trust them, you can’t pick them, so I believe that because his relationship with Asiwaju is a great one. Gbajabiamila has been in the house for twenty years.
He was a minority leader, majority leader, and now the speaker, so all these put together, I think Femi is a great guy for the position.
Asiwaju is a man that knows how to pick challenges and believe in diversity so I expect his cabinet to be full of young men, women, talented people who are able to drive the economy.
