The Speaker of the House of Representatives Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, has paid glowing tributes to the Chief of Staff to the President, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, on his 62nd birthday.
The Speaker, in a congratulatory message issued through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Musa Abdullahi Krishi, on Monday in Abuja, said Gbajabiamila remains a phenomenon having reached 62 years on earth.
The Speaker was elated that Gbajabiamila has made his mark and left his footprints in the sand of time during his over 20-year service in the House of Representatives, especially as Speaker of the 9th House.
While noting Gbajabiamila’s “exceptional contributions to the growth and development of our democracy, especially the Legislature,” Speaker Abbas said the Chief of Staff to the President has distinguished himself as a democrat par excellence.
Speaker Abbas noted that Gbajabiamila’s legacy projects in the National Assembly have been of great benefit not just to the 10th Assembly and the public but also the Assemblies to come.
No wonder, the Speaker added, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, found the former Speaker worthy of being his top aide to manage the President’s schedule and assist him in his quest to bring about good governance in Nigeria.
He described Gbajabiamila as “one of the best hands in Tinubu’s government.”
“I am most elated to wish my predecessor and the Chief of Staff to the President, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, happy 62nd birthday.
“At 62, Gbajabiamila will go down in history as one of the finest legislators the National Assembly has ever produced. His democratic credentials are legion.
“In the history of the Nigerian Parliament and our democracy, Femi Gbajabiamila has written his name in gold.
“I can only wish him well. I pray that God Almighty will continue to preserve his life, give him good health and increase him in wisdom to serve our fatherland the best way he can,” the Speaker said.
