BREAKING: Gbajabiamila 'Emerges' Tinubu's Chief Of Staff

Gbajabiamila has reportedly emerged Tinubu’s Chief of Staff.

News ToGo learned that Femi Gbajabiamila, the current Speaker of the House of Representatives, was chosen as the Chief of Staff to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. This means that he will no longer be in the upcoming 10th National Assembly.

Gbajabiamila, who secured a 6th term as the representative of Surulere Federal Constituency in Lagos State, made the announcement through his Chief of Staff, Olanrewaju Smart Wasiu, on his official Facebook page on Thursday morning.

The statement read, “After extensive deliberations and consultations, President Bola Tinubu, has made his first appointment, selecting the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, as the President’s Chief of Staff.”

According to the statement, the President’s decision to appoint Gbajabiamila came after thoroughly evaluating various potential candidates among his loyalists. With this development, he will now forego his sixth term in the House of Representatives to join the executive branch of government.

Apart from Gbajabiamila, there were other political bigwigs that had their eyes on the top post, but one person will eventually clinch the position.

The presidency is yet to confirm this announcement made by the spokesman to Gbajabiamila. If that happens, then Gbajabiamila may resume office.

BREAKING: CSU Finally Releases Tinubu's Record, Gender Reads Female

CSU has finally released Tinubu’s records.

News ToGo learned that Chicago State University (CSU) has complied with a court order to release the academic records of President Bola Tinubu, as requested by Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the recent elections.

Following a directive from the US district court for the northern district of Illinois over the weekend, CSU provided the requested academic records.

TheCable reports that the university confirmed that the format of the certificate in question matched Tinubu’s replacement dated June 27, 1997. However, the gender raises doubt. This is because Tinubu filled ”Male” and the university in the new document addressed him as ”Mr”, but some transcripts reportedly show ”F” which suggests ”Female”. This raises doubt in the issue.

However, Atiku and his legal team are following up on the issue after alleging serious discrepancies in Tinubu’s academic records. They also claim that those inconsistencies will help them prove that he was not fit to contest for President of Nigeria.

Recall that Tinubu made serious effort to block the release of his records but the US courts ruled in Atiku’s favour. Atiku and his legal team will now go ahead to prove their case concerning the inconsistencies they discovered.
