The immediate past Senior Special Assistant on Youth Matters to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ibrahim Alli-Balogun, has described the recent vote of confidence passed on the Chief of Staff to the President, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamilla is a blessing to Nigerian Youths.
While answering questions from journalists in Abuja on Wednesday, Alli-Balogun said Gbajabiamila is the face of Nigerian Youths in the country’s leadership.
“The Chief of Staff has shown that he loves the Youth of this country. Don’t forget that as Majority Leader, he supported the Not Too Young To Run Bill when it was passed. As Speaker House of Representatives, the bill for the Students’ Loan Act was passed and He single-handedly sponsored the bill for An Act to Amend the Constitution for the Inclusion of Young Persons and Persons with Disabilities in Appointments in Nigeria and others that directly impact the Youth Development
“As Chief of Staff, he has championed the course of the youths, and looking at the cabinet of His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the large number of Youths in the administration says a lot about his love for them.”
While condemning those who sponsored unfounded allegations against the Chief of Staff, he emphasized that security agencies should go after the purveyors of fake news.
“I understand that there is a bill against fake news. I urge relevant security agencies to take it seriously and go after those that are sitting in their rooms to write damaging news on key stakeholders in the polity.”
Alli-Balogun, who has worked with the Chief of Staff for several years, insisted that Gbajabiamila is a man of integrity.
“My boss, the Chief of Staff, is a man with proven integrity. I can vouch for him anywhere. Those who are spreading the rumor don’t know who Gbajabiamila is. He will never do anything to tarnish his name and integrity.”
Alli-Balogun urged Nigerian Youths to believe in the government of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, saying the country will witness rapid development under him.
