JUST IN: Tinubu finally Speaks On Losing Confidence In Gbajabiamila
On Monday, October 30, President Bola Tinubu reaffirmed complete confidence in his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila.
President Tinubu, who addressed shortly before the start of the week’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting inside the Council Chambers, State House, also established the ground rules for attendance.
The president addressed concerns he had witnessed and was concerned about, such as illegal persons entering the State House Council Chambers.
He said: “First of all, let me reiterate to all of you the fact that a lot of stories are going around about what is happening. I’ve told everyone in this country that I can make mistakes, they’re bound to air them out and correct them.
“Perfection is that of God Almighty. I have absolute confidence in the integrity of my Chief of Staff. All campaigns of calumny and insinuations should stop, the buck stops here.
“If I make a mistake I’m ready to own up to it and we’re all joining hands to fight corruption and we want to enforce the law along with you.”
Meanwhile, the Council gave a minute of silence for a former member of FEC and one-time Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Alhaji Adamu Fika, who died last week at the age of 90 years.
The Council is in progress with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume; Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Dr Folasade Yemi-Esan; Chief of Staff to the President, Honourable Gbajabiamila; National Security Adviser (NSA), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu; and virtually all the ministers, in attendance.
