Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has been accused of selling the narrative of becoming the next chief of staff when the incoming government of Bola Ahmed Tinubu resumes the helm of affairs.

The RHA director-general, however, urged Tinubu not to be pressured by such narratives promulgated by the desperate Gbajabiamila and his team.

Agbaoku urged Tinubu to go for a more competent personality that would not jeopardise his administration during his first stint as president.

He also noted that the emergence of Gbajabiamila as speaker of the lower chamber was a sad development despite all the numerous reservations about his past globally.

Agbaoku harped that the president’s office requires stern caution and critical thinking and should not become a “pedestrian altar of man knows man.”
