League of Progressive Nigerians (LPN), London, United Kingdom, has hailed Chief of Staff (CoS) to President Bola Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila for redefining governance in the country.
A statement by LPN President, Maxwell deleye described Gbajabiamila as one of the finest public office holders in this dispensation, who has brought panache and finesse to redefine governance with stellar results to show.
This is in reaction to sponsored media attacks by some unscrupulous elements with warped vested interests against the Chief of Staff (CoS).
Adeleye said the attacks are meant to distract him from offering his best efforts to help the Tinubu administration for sustainable growth and development.
The statement reads in part: “During his tenure in the House of Representatives, he sponsored 25 Bills in the last Assembly with about 10 crucial ones passed by the House.
“The bills include Electric Power Sector Reform Act (Amendment) Bill 2019, Physically Challenged (Empowerment) Bill 2019, Presidential (Transition) Bill 2019l, South West Development Commission (Establishment) Bill 2019. Labour Act (Amendment) Bill 2019, Economic Stimulus Bill 2019, Emergency Economic Stimulus Bill 2020, Quarantine Act (Repeal and Enactment) Bill 2020 and Nigeria Health Infrastructure Development Bank (Establishment Etc) Bill 2020.
“He also sponsored important pieces of legislation, including the Students Loans (Access to Higher Education) Act, 2023. His federal constituency, Surulere Federal Constituency, will never forget his numerous durable and impactful projects, especially in health and education.
His commitment to building a successor generation who will help repurpose governance in Nigeria for optimal service delivery led to his founding of the Legislative Mentorship Initiative(LMI), which is now domiciled with the National Institute for Democratic and Legislative Studies(NILDS). The initiative has already produced its second cohort of Fellows with some of them already holding vital appointments at the national and subnational levels.”
The group urged the President to continue to have confidence in his CoS who is ‘one of Nigeria’s finest public servants at the moment’.
We as a group would have chosen to ignore the face rabble-rousers behind the unwarranted attacks and their toxic shenanigans but for their tendency to misinform and therefore mislead some Nigerians who might not truly know what the real issues are,” it added.
