President Bola Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila has lamented that he has lost his freedom.
He stated that he lost his freedom the moment he became CoS.
Gbajabiamila disclosed that working as Tinubu’s CoS has been the most difficult job he’s undertaken due to the president’s work ethic.
The former Speaker of the House of Representatives disclosed this during a conversation, book reading, and signing event at the Capital Club in Victoria Island, Lagos.
Gbajabiamila confessed that Tinubu has made his work more difficult because the president is strong, knows his onions, and understands the work better.
According to Gbajabiamila: “Nothing in this world can prepare you for the role of Chief of Staff. First, you’d lose your freedom.
“As Speaker, you are your own boss, although you won’t be irresponsible with it. But as Speaker, I could travel to cool off anytime, just to return better and get the work done.
“Now, there’s a boss, one who is strong and knows his onions and even knows more than you. But it’s a welcome development. As Speaker, the buck stops on my table. But here, there is a boss.”
