All Progressives Congress (APC) Professionals Council has passed a vote of confidence on the chief of staff to the president, Femi Gbajabiamila, saying he is a man of integrity and long standing excellence.

The council was reacting to the outburst by a group accusing Gbajabiamila of biase in the appointment of ministers and other top officials of government.

The national director-general of APC Professionals Council Hon. Seyi Bamigbade who stated this at the weekend in Lagos during a courtesy visit to one of the aspirants for Surulere 1 Federal Constituency in Lagos, Fuad Kayode Laguda, said President Bola Tinubu is saddled with the responsibility of appointing those to work with him.

He advised those accusing Gbajabiamila of underhand dealings to know where to direct their grievances.

Bamigbade said, “We find it appalling and disgusting that a faceless group masquerading as supporters of APC are accusing our Femi Gbajabiamila of sidelining them in the appointment of ministers.

“Maybe they need to be reminded that Gbajabiamila is not in charge of issuing appointment letters but the president and commander-in-chief, Bola Tinubu.

We must also ask, where did this faceless group emanate from? What role did they play in the entire electioneering process and why in a haste to cast aspersion on a government that is barely two months out of four-year term?

“We in APC Professional Council believe the government will not be distracted and the Gbajabiamila we know is an embodiment of integrity who in his long years as a parliamentarian demonstrated that in the handling of the affairs of his offices as minority leader, majority leader and eventually the speaker of the House of Representatives,” he said.
