Femi Gbajabiamila, chief of staff to President Bola Tinubu, has revealed that he nearly lost his job during last year’s Lagos assembly speakership crisis due to the involvement of Desmond Elliot, lawmaker representing Surulere constituency.

Speaking at an APC stakeholders’ meeting in Lagos, Gbajabiamila said Tinubu summoned him and named Elliot as one of those behind the crisis. He defended Elliot initially but later asked him to publicly distance himself from the impeachment move, which Elliot declined.

Key Points:

Gbajabiamila’s revelation exposes internal tensions within the APC during the Obasa impeachment saga.
Elliot’s refusal to distance himself from the move could strain his political future in Lagos.
The DSS also allegedly implicated Gbajabiamila as backing Elliot in the scheme.
Gbajabiamila credited his close relationship with Tinubu for saving his job.
He also accused Elliot of stoking religious tensions in Surulere constituency.

Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has called on federal authorities and the Kaduna State Government to immediately release former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, describing his continued detention before Eid-el-Kabir celebrations as “cruel, unjustifiable, and deeply troubling.”

In a statement, Atiku said Eid is a season of compassion and forgiveness, and keeping El-Rufai away from his family without due process is unconscionable. El-Rufai is facing a 10-count charge bordering on alleged money laundering and corruption.

Key Points:

Atiku argues that selective justice undermines confidence in the rule of law.
He warns against using state institutions to intimidate perceived political opponents.
A Federal High Court recently granted El-Rufai access to medical treatment while in custody.
El-Rufai and a co-defendant have pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Atiku’s intervention highlights the political fault lines within the opposition.
