Gbajabiamila Writes SSS, Demands Probe Of Campaign Of Calumny Against Him (DETAILS)

Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, has written a letter of complaint to the State Security Service (SSS) regarding “false allegations and sustained campaign of calumny” against him.

VerseNews reports that the letter, titled “Request for Investigation of False Allegations and Sustained Campaign of Calumny Against my Person by Unknown Elements,” outlines the unfounded accusations spread on social media over the past six months.

Gbajabiamila, who served in the Nigerian government for two decades, emphasized his commitment to probity in managing public resources.

He urged the SSS to investigate the sources and substance of these false allegations, requesting prompt intervention from security agencies in the matter.

The letter included a selection of notable attacks over the past few months to aid in the investigation.

The letter reads:

“I have served in the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for the past two decades, first in the legislature, where I rose to the position of the Speaker of the House of Representatives and now in the executive as Chief of Staff to the President. In that time, my efforts to ensure probity in the management of public resources are well documented. As Speaker of the House of Representatives, I presided over the national budget for all ministries, departments and agencies for four years without blemish.

“While it is my inclination to ignore these attacks as part of the usual mischief of politics, my position as Chief of Staff to the President compels me to act because falsehoods left unchallenged soon take on the toga of truth. Furthermore, the aggressive escalation of these attacks suggests that the perpetrators of these attacks will continue until they are held to account. For these reasons, the stoic silence I have maintained on this matter thus far will no longer suffice.

“I am satisfied that I have not acted in any way to warrant or justify these attacks. Therefore, I am requesting your office to investigate the sources and substance of these false allegations. Rather than hide behind the anonymity of the internet, let my accusers be unmasked to substantiate their claims or face the consequences of their libel against me.”
