<p>The recent release of <strong>President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s</strong> federal appointment list has sparked controversy, especially concerning the omission of some key figures.</p>
<p>The most notable absence is that of<strong> Femi Gbajabiamila,</strong> the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, who is currently serving as Chief of Staff to the President.</p>
<p>The list, <strong>released by the Presidency’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Sunday Dare, was meant to provide clarity on key political figures appointed under Tinubu’s administration since he took office.</strong></p>
<p>However, the release has raised eyebrows as critics point out that some important names, including Gbajabiamila, were not included.</p>
<p>Femi Gbajabiamila, one of the earliest and most prominent appointees in President Tinubu’s administration, was notably absent from the list.</p>
<p>Gbajabiamila was appointed Chief of Staff on June 2, 2023, just days after Tinubu’s inauguration.</p>
