If calculated by 300 guests, the cost for hotel accommodation alone per night will amount to $36,600 (N13,176,000)

Speaker of Nigeria’s House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, is already warming up to stage an elaborate birthday party for his mother, Alhaja Lateefat Olufunke Gbajabiamila, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, starting from today, March 2.

The fanfare and lavish celebration to mark the woman’s 90th birthday is expected to run until March 10 in the glittering Arab city.

Some of Nigeria’s high and mighty including politicians living fat on public funds are expected to grace the occasion.

Already, reservations for guests have been made at the Conrad Hilton Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, where the least room goes for $122 (N43,920) per night.

Findings by SaharaReporters revealed that the average price for round-trip flights from Nigeria to Dubai is currently $637 (N229,320).

When this is calculated for 300 guests, the total expenditure for airfare falls to N68,796,000.

A member of the planning team for the lavish celebration hinted SaharaReporters that some guests have been booked for special and luxurious accommodation and that top personalities not slotted into private jets have already been booked for special seats on commercial airlines heading to Dubai.

According to the source, Gbajabiamila could be spending well over N500m to ensure his mother gets a befitting 90th birthday celebration going by the calibre of guests that would be gracing the occasion.

The source further told SaharaReporters that Alhaja Gbajabiamila played a pivotal role in her son’s foray into politics, hence the Speaker is prepared to celebrate her in a big way especially as she reaches the milestone age of 90.

Known to splash the cash when celebrating persons special to him, Gbajabiamila in May 2018 gifted his wife, Salamatu, an exotic Mercedes Benz G-Wagon on her 50th birthday said to cost around N100m.

However, apart from living large on public funds, Gbajabiamila is also known to have a questionable past.

Recall that he was found guilty by the US Supreme Court of Georgia in February 2007 of stealing $25,000 from his client and suspended from law practice for 36 months.

Femi Gbaja, as he was known in the case file, accepted payment of $25,000 as a personal injury claims and deposited those funds in his attorney trust account in January 2003.

He failed to disburse the funds to his client; instead withdrawing it, closing his practice and returning to Nigeria where he ran for elections to represent Surulere I Federal Constituency in the House of Representative under the Alliance for Democracy in 2003.

Upon arrival in Nigeria, curiously he adopted a longer version of his surname – Gbajabiamila – ostensibly to peel off his suspicious past.

The Speaker has refused to talk about the matter whenever confronted by Nigerian journalists.

The poster works for saharareporters abi?

Go and buy sense bro. Gbaja is a known fraudster. When his client was awarded money in USA, he took the money and ran to Nigeria without telling his client he's been awarded compensation.

Nonsense leaders

If the facts in this story are accurate, then Gbajabiamila is a fathead. An insensitive buffoon. A shameless pretender. A scam democrat. A vain 'hand-faller'.

This kind of story makes one wish he could rent THUNDER to scatter things. SMH

I love democracy....!!

Nigerian Oil is too sweet, they twist our hands to pay tax by force, for few criminals to benefit as a Nigerian politician.


God please fast forward the global use of electric cars and planes, I can't wait for oil to go below $10 so that we go get sense by force

So Nigeria is not good enough to do birthday at least the money spent will still be within the country but no oh someone has chosen to help boost dubai economy by spending Nigeria money...chai e be like sey me sef go contest for next election... corrupt governments

We have suffered in this country.

The criminality and recklessness continues. Nobody wants to start the change. If u question Apc they will tell u but Pdp did it like this b4 ... useless set of politicians.

Even Saraki and dagora never did this. This Gbaga man is smtnelse.

Oporporporporpor ojujujujuju

Even though I despise the APC, this cannot be true. Gbajabiamila should have enough money to sponsor this without blinking and he doesn't look like someone that is reckless!

Nigeria is cursed with greedy, selfish, self-centered, glutton Leaders! Tueh!

America is Blessed with great Leaders like J.F Kennedy, Barack Obama, Donald J. Trump... Nigeria is cursed with Shehu Shagari, Sani Abacha, Muhammadu Buhari.

His mother seem to be his major spiritual back bone, the day Dino lost his mum everything scattered for him

may we all have the money to make our parents happy, and not be too broke to start envying everything good


if as a former rich Chicago lawyer, a member of the Federal house since 2003, former minority leader, former majority leader and now Speaker of the federal house you cant satisfy your mothers wish on her birthday only to wait for her burial ceremony, then you are a big fool
