WorldStage– Nigeria’s Presidency has reacted to a viral report on social media suggesting that President Bola Tinubu has replaced his Chief of Staff, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, with his Principal Private Secretary, Hakeem Muri-Okunola, saying there is absolutely no truth to this story.
A statement by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President (Information and Strategy) said, “We advise Nigerians to disregard it entirely.”
The statement said “the Chief of Staff remains in his position. The Principal Private Secretary likewise remains in his role. Hakeem Muri-Okunola has not replaced Femi Gbajabiamila as Chief of Staff.
