The Presidency has rejected reports claiming that President Bola Tinubu has replaced his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, with his Principal Private Secretary, Hakeem Muri-Okunola. The clarification followed the circulation of social media posts alleging that a change had taken place at the Presidency.
The reports, which cited unnamed sources, suggested that Gbajabiamila had been removed from office. In response, the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the claim was untrue and asked Nigerians to ignore it.
According to the Presidency, Femi Gbajabiamila remains the Chief of Staff, while Hakeem Muri-Okunola continues to serve as Principal Private Secretary. The statement explained that no reshuffle or replacement had occurred in either position.
The Presidency described the report as a false story spread to cause confusion and tension within the government. It also advised media organisations and the public to confirm information properly before sharing it, especially on social media.
The government stressed that both officials are still carrying out their duties as assigned, and there has been no change in the structure of the President’s office.
