- Gbajabiamila made the disclosure during a reception and award presentation on Tuesday.
Chief of Staff to the president, Hon Femi Gbajabiamila, has shed light on president Bola Tinubu’s political sojourn and how he was able to rise to occupy the highest office in the land.
The former House of Representatives Speaker said Tinubu’s ascension to the presidency was aided by the people he built an enduring relationship with when he was a senator in 1992.
Gbajabiamila made the disclosure on Tuesday during a reception and award presentation, organised for him and other members of the Forum of APC Former Members of the House of Representatives, who are either ministers or governors.
Some other members recognised by the forum are Niger State Governor, Hon Umar Bago, and the Minister of Sports Development, Hon John Enoh.
In his remarks at the event, Gbajabiamila, who thanked his former colleagues for organising the reception to honour them, however decried the absence of some other award recipients.
He said, “I will tell you one thing today, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, he may not know it, I have been around him for a long time, one of his greatest strengths and what catapulted him to where he is today were his former colleagues when he was a senator. So this is a constituency we must hold dear. We just shouldn’t burn bridges when we leave.”
