Abbas Salutes Gbajabiamila At 61

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, has felicitated with the chief of staff to the president, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, on his 61st birthday.

Abbas said Gbajabiamila had paid his dues as a patriotic Nigerian who served the nation at different levels when he was in the House and ultimately became the speaker in the 9th House.

He said the immediate past speaker was worthy of being celebrated as someone who made his mark and left good legacy in the House of Representatives.

The speaker in a statement by his special adviser on media and publicity, Musa Krishi, expressed delight with how Gbajabiamila used his leadership qualities as a legislator par excellence during his tenure as speaker.

Abbas said his predecessor remained an invaluable asset to Nigeria and Africa, noting that the chief of staff to the president has a lot to offer his fatherland in many years to come.

“I am glad that you are marking your 61st birthday as a fulfilled Nigerian whose service to fatherland has been commendable.

“I pray that the Almighty God would grant you more fruitful years and sound health now and always,” he said.
