It was Alfred Adler who said;
Men of Wealth are Envied,
Men of Power are feared,
Men of Beauty are admired,
But only Men of Character are trusted...

And of all defining elements of character, Loyalty reigns supreme...

You can question Hon Femi's Wealth, Power, Beauty...But you can never question is character for one with Gbaja is an army that can take down legions, for his Loyalty is Unquestionable...

Is it just me, but i actually like the fact that President @officialABAT drives to and from the Villa daily.
I am happy to see his convoy is quite considerate of other road users unlike previous administrations. 5-10mins wait is a marginal improvement from the usual 50mins.

PROFILE OF REP. @femigbaja, SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA AND CHIEF OF STAFF TO NIGERIA’S PRESIDENT EFFECTIVE FROM JUNE 14, 2023

Olufemi Hakeem Gbajabiamila is the Speaker of Nigeria’s House of Representatives. He is a lawyer and politician with over two decades of active participation in the political life of Nigeria.

Rep. Gbajabiamila was born on the 25th of June 1962. He had his secondary education at Igbobi College, Yaba, Lagos and proceeded from there to the King Williams College, Isle of Man, the United Kingdom for his Advanced Level. He graduated at the top of his class and went on to the University of Lagos for a three-year LLB (Bachelor of Laws) degree programme. He graduated from the University of Lagos with honours in 1983 and was called to the Nigerian Bar in 1984.
Femi Gbajabiamila started his career as a lawyer with the law firm of Bentley, Edu and Co., where he distinguished himself. He eventually left Bentley, Edu and Co. to set up his practice, Femi Gbaja and Co.

In 1998 went back to school at the to go back to school at the John Marshall Law School in Atlanta, Georgia in the United States of America. He graduated Magna Cum Laude from John Marshall and earned for himself a Juris Doctor (JD) degree. He then went on to write and pass the Georgia Bar exams, after which he set up another thriving law office where he practised until his return to Nigeria.

On his return to Nigeria, Gbajabiamila delved into partisan politics and offered himself up for service on the platform of the then Alliance for Democracy (AD) and has thereafter been elected for six (6) consecutive terms to represent the people of Surulere 1 Federal Constituency of Lagos in the National Assembly.

In 2003, Gbajabiamila was elected a member of the House of Representatives from Surulere 1 Federal Constituency. His first term in the House demonstrated his true passion for issues concerning his constituents and Nigeria as a whole. He worked passionately to address matters of great concern to him and quickly earned a reputation as a brilliantly competent legislator.
A true believer in qualitative representation, he took an active part in debates on the floor of the House and was quickly recognised as one of the bright minds in the National Assembly. He was always on the side of truth and justice, and his views truly reflected the wishes and aspirations of his constituents. This was especially evident during the “third term debate” when he was chairman of the 2007 movement in the House, a group primarily credited for ending the “third term agenda” of the then President

His exceptional record saw him overwhelmingly re-elected in 2007. In the same year, his colleagues elected him Leader of his party, the Action Congress (AC) in the House of Representatives, and Minority Whip. By the end of his second term in office, Gbajabiamila had sponsored the highest number of Bills in the National Assembly.

In 2011, Gbajabiamila sought re-election for the third time, this time on the platform of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN). He won his election and was re-elected Leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and Leader of the opposition in the House of Representatives.

During this period, Femi Gbajabiamila was hailed as an effective opposition leader. He is remembered amongst other things, for bringing a motion on the floor of the House to invoke the doctrine of necessity, during the illness and absence of President Umar Musa Yar’adua. It was this motion moved in the House and the Senate, that led to the swearing-in of Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan as Acting President.

In 2011, Femi Gbajabiamila was nominated for the national award of Officer of the Federal Republic, (OFR). He rejected the nomination on the grounds that he did not believe the being used in the way it was intended to reward service to the nation...(1)
