Demola Olarenwaju, the Senior Political Assistant to the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has suggested why President Bola Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, should be sacked.
Recall that an acclaimed Director General of the
Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, Adeniyi Matthew, recently
accused Gbajabiamila of involvement in an alleged appointment-for-cash scandal.
Matthew alleged that Gbajabiamila demanded N27.4bn from the
take-off grant of a purported agency and collected N400m, through proxies, to
secure his appointment as director-general of the agency.
But the presidency, in an official statement on Wednesday by
Bayo Onanuga, denied the claim, stating that the accuser and the purported
agency is unknown to the government.
However, Olarenwaju said if Mathew scammed himself into
Nigeria’s budget, Gbajabiamila must be sacked for negligence.
Posting on X, he noted that the CoS should be prosecuted if
he connived with Mathew to commit the fraud.
He wrote: “By the watery presidential rebuttal, Gbajabiamila
is either guilty of connivance or guilty of negligence – no two ways about it.
“If that fellow scammed himself into Nigeria’s budget, then
Gbajabiamila must be sacked for negligence and lack of due diligence.
“If the fellow connived with him in the scam as we suspect
by evidence, Gbaja should be prosecuted. Either ways: this Thief of Staff must
be punished.”
