Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila, has said he has never betrayed the confidence reposed in him by the President.
Gbajabiamila made the statement on Saturday at his 2026 Mega Empowerment Programme held at the National Stadium in Surulere, Lagos.
He also addressed allegations against him following investigations into the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC).
According to him, several investigations, including one conducted by the House of Representatives, cleared him of any wrongdoing in connection with the organisation.
“The past few months have tested me in ways I never expected. Stories were written, strange accusations were made, lies were told, and my integrity was questioned,” he said.
Gbajabiamila said the investigative reports were now available to the public and that due process had been followed, despite pressure on some people to condemn him before the investigations were completed.
He said Tinubu was confident that he had no connection with the alleged activities.
“Let me also say, Mr. President knows his Chief of Staff very well. Having worked closely with me for many years, he was therefore supremely confident that I was not in any way involved in those nefarious things,” he said.
The former Speaker of the House of Representatives also said the allegations would not distract him from carrying out his duties in the Presidency.
No amount of money, no amount of blackmail or lies, whether sponsored from within or outside, will detract me from my work and the work Mr. President has given me to do,” he said.
Speaking about his relationship with Tinubu, Gbajabiamila said his loyalty to the President had remained firm, even when he did not agree with every political decision.
“In politics, loyalty is the currency we spend the most. I have been with Mr. President for many years. I did not question his leadership and never betrayed his trust in me. I stayed loyal then and I remain loyal now. My commitment to his Renewed Hope agenda is unshaken,” he said.
Gbajabiamila said the empowerment programme was organised to support about 5,000 residents from communities across Surulere.
The beneficiaries received various forms of assistance, including cash grants, vehicles, electric tricycles, buses, security patrol vehicles and an ambulance.
Lagos State Deputy Governor and APC governorship candidate, Obafemi Hamzat, commended Gbajabiamila for his continued support for his constituents.
Hamzat also urged residents to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid, noting that Tinubu had remained with the APC and contributed to the growth of the party.
