The All Progressives Congress (APC) Professionals Council has passed a vote of confidence in the Chief of Staff to the President, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila.
The ruling party’s group described Gbajabiamila as “a man of integrity and long-standing excellence”.
The council was reacting to reports that accused Gbajabiamila of selling appointment slots to the highest bidder.
A statement yesterday by its National Director General Seyi Bamigbade dismissed the allegation as spurious and unfounded.
The statement reads: “The accusation against Gbajabiamila can best be described as childish and an outburst of desperate politicians who want to cause a crisis where none exists.
“As one of the longest serving members of the National Assembly, Gbajabiamila has distinguished himself as a man of honour and verifiable integrity. It’s also heart-warming to note that Mr. President, knowing the personality of his Chief of Staff, has equally passed a vote of confidence in him.
“We call on all well-meaning Nigerians to ignore the allegation and treat it like a tissue of lie that it is.”
