Gbajabiamila Remains Tinubu’s Chief of Staff — Presidency

The Presidency has dismissed as false a viral social media report claiming that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has replaced his chief of staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, with the principal private secretary, Hakeem Muri-Okunola.

In a statement by presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga, the Presidency said there was “absolutely no truth” to the claim and advised Nigerians to disregard it.

It clarified that Gbajabiamila remains in his position as chief of staff, while Muri-Okunola also continues in his role as principal private secretary, stressing that no replacement had taken place.

Onanuga described the report as a fabrication by mischievous purveyors of fake news whose aim is to create disharmony within the government.

He urged news media organisations to always verify their information before publishing or sharing on social media.
