Femi Gbajabiamila finally reacts to reports of his alleged appointment as Tinubu's Chief of Staff

The outgoing Speaker of the 9th House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has reacted to his alleged appointment as the Chief of Staff to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Some media reports had earlier on Thursday, June 1, stated that Gbajabiamila had been appointed Tinubu's COS, citing a purported Facebook post by the Speaker's Chief of Staff, Olanrewaju Smart Wasiu.

However, Wasiu, in another Facebook post sighted by Legit.ng debunked the report as "fake news".

Amid the speculations, a reporter in a trending video posted on Twitter congratulated Gbajabiamila on the alleged appointment and asked why it had not been made official.

Responding, the Speaker said: "Be patient, be patient. The system works in its own way. Let's allow the system to work."

When the reporter pressed further if the appointment would be officially announced before the end of the day, Gbajabiamila simply responded, "We'll see."
