The North Central Truth and Transformation Agenda has commended President Bola Tinubu for the appointment of Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila as Chief of Staff to the President.
The group described the move as a clear demonstration of the President’s confidence in the integrity and leadership capabilities of the former Speaker of the House of Representatives.
In a statement issued in Abuja, the group noted that Gbajabiamila’s wealth of experience in legislative and executive matters positions him ideally to drive the administration’s agenda for national development.
According to the group, the appointment comes at a critical time when strong, ethical leadership is required to navigate Nigeria’s complex socio-economic challenges.
They highlighted Gbajabiamila’s track record of transparency, dedication to public service, and proven ability to foster unity across political divides as key factors that earned him the President’s trust.
The North Central Truth and Transformation Agenda emphasized that this decision reflects Tinubu’s commitment to surrounding himself with individuals of impeccable character.
“President Tinubu has once again shown visionary leadership by appointing a man whose integrity is beyond reproach. Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila has consistently demonstrated honesty and dedication throughout his public service career,” said Edward Abakpa, Coordinator of the group in the signed statement.
“This appointment is not just a reward for loyalty but a strategic choice that underscores the President’s confidence in the Chief of Staff’s ability to deliver on the Renewed Hope Agenda with utmost integrity. The North Central region stands firmly behind this decision.”
The group further praised Gbajabiamila’s role in strengthening democratic institutions during his tenure as Speaker, where he facilitated landmark legislation that advanced economic reforms, security initiatives, and social welfare programs.
They pointed out that his collaborative approach helped bridge gaps between the executive and legislature, leading to smoother governance and accelerated policy implementation under the current administration.
According to the group, Gbajabiamila’s new role will enhance coordination within the Presidency and ensure that government policies are executed with efficiency and accountability.
His appointment is seen as a boost to investor confidence and a signal of stability in the nation’s highest office, particularly in light of ongoing reforms in the oil sector, infrastructure development, and fiscal management.
“Gbajabiamila’s appointment reaffirms that merit and integrity remain the cornerstones of President Tinubu’s leadership style. We have no doubt that he will bring the same excellence and ethical standard that defined his speakership to this new assignment,” Abakpa stated.
“The people of the North Central are proud to associate with this progressive step. It validates our belief in a united Nigeria where competent leaders from all zones are given the opportunity to serve with distinction and contribute meaningfully to national growth.”
In the wake of the appointment, the North Central Truth and Transformation Agenda called on all well-meaning Nigerians, especially stakeholders in the region, to support the Chief of Staff in discharging his duties.
The group urged citizens to rally behind the Tinubu administration’s vision, noting that Gbajabiamila’s presence will accelerate the delivery of tangible dividends of democracy across all geopolitical zones.
The statement highlighted specific areas where Gbajabiamila is expected to make immediate impact, including strengthening anti-corruption mechanisms, promoting inter-agency synergy, and ensuring that the welfare of public servants and ordinary Nigerians remains a priority.
“Under Gbajabiamila’s stewardship as Chief of Staff, we anticipate greater accountability and faster implementation of policies that uplift the masses. His integrity is a shield against any form of malfeasance,” Abakpa remarked.
“President Tinubu deserves commendation for trusting a leader who has never compromised on principles. This appointment will undoubtedly consolidate the gains already recorded by the administration and chart a path for sustainable development in Nigeria.”
