“President Tinubu Lauds Gbajabiamila’s Democratic Legacy In Heartfelt Birthday Tribute”

In a glowing tribute, President Bola Tinubu commended Chief of Staff Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila for his remarkable contributions to strengthening democracy in Nigeria, shaping legislative progress, and driving development in Lagos State’s Surulere district.

In a statement issued on Wednesday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, President Bola Tinubu paid tribute to his Chief of Staff, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, in celebration of his birthday. He hailed the former Speaker of the House of Representatives as a key figure in Nigeria’s democratic evolution and a committed public servant whose influence is felt both nationally and at the grassroots.

“President Tinubu highlights Gbajabiamila’s notable role in shaping Nigeria’s young democracy and the legislature, where he dedicated most of his political life,” the statement read.

A lawyer by training, Gbajabiamila entered the House of Representatives in 2003 and spent over 20 years in the National Assembly. During his time, he rose through the ranks, serving as Minority Leader, Majority Leader, and eventually Speaker from 2019 to 2023.

President Tinubu also praised Gbajabiamila’s enduring commitment to the development of Lagos State, particularly Surulere, where his tenure is marked by significant infrastructure projects, empowerment initiatives, and effective representation.

As Chief of Staff since 2023, Gbajabiamila has played a pivotal role in driving the Tinubu administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda. The President encouraged him to remain steadfast in this mission, saying, “Keep working towards a stronger, more prosperous Nigeria through the Renewed Hope Agenda.”

Tinubu ended his message with warm wishes for Gbajabiamila’s long life and continued good health.
