Gbajabiamila Nearly Lost Position Over Elliot Controversy
Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, disclosed that he nearly lost his position last year due to allegations involving actor-turned-politician Desmond Elliot during a crisis related to the Lagos State House of Assembly speakership. The crisis involved Mudashiru Obasa and was linked to efforts by Elliot to destabilize the assembly.
As the All Progressives Congress (APC) prepares for its primaries ahead of the 2027 general elections, intense lobbying and negotiations among aspirants are taking place to secure tickets. Party leaders loyal to President Tinubu are consulting to avert internal crises and protests that could arise from the collapse of consensus talks, particularly in states such as Taraba, Kano, Kaduna, Oyo, Yobe, and Abia.
