    Tinubu's Bombshell: Gbajabiamila's Near Miss

    Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, reveals a tense moment last year when he was almost removed from his position due to actor-turned-politician Desmond Elliots alleged involvement in the Lagos State House of Assembly drama. Tinubu questioned Gbajabiamila about Elliots role in the speakership fight around Mudashiru Obasa, leading to a series of events where Gbajabiamila had to defend himself and Elliot. The DSS director-general also flagged Gbajabiamilas name, and Elliot was asked to publicly deny any involvement, which he never did. The saga began in January 2025 when Obasa was temporarily replaced as speaker due to misconduct claims, but he regained his seat after court fights and interventions. Elliot is now seeking a fourth term in Surulere, facing opposition, while his role in the political drama remains unverified. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
