The office of the Chief of staff is a very important one as it is very crucial to the operations and running pf the federal administration. It is the seat of correspondence and cornerstone of power moves in any federal or state administration.

We have witnessed many Chief of staffs on the time past many of which have been very active. An example is the late chief Abba Kyati of the Buhari led administration who was always on his toes and didn't leave any stone unturned. Not in Nigeria but all over the world, Chiefs of staff are very pertinent to the presidential office. They're in charge of the appointment of personnels that work to ensure the smooth running of the administration and also cover the security details of principal officers of the government, amongst other highly placed functions.

It is no news that Femi Gbajamiala was appointed CoS by the incumbent president himself in person of Bola Ahmed Tibubu,GCFR to oversee the running of the central administration. A very smart and articulate man to the core! But it seems Femi Gbajamiala is no where to be found. In fact the last time Nigerians heard anything about him was last year Feb 2024 when he was reported to have had a closed door meeting with some of the principal officers in the government over the then looming strike on subsidy removal. That's over a year ago.

The disappearance of Femi Gbajamiala in the politics and internal affairs of the administration poses two very pertinent questions:
1) He is being checked by superior forces and forced to work quietly for fear that he might ursurp power? It's no longer news that Seyi Tinubu has overtaken the running of "his father's government". Could Seyi Tinubu's activities be brewing problems for him?

2) Does he just prefer to do it quietly unlike the others who have held that office before him?

In all this, Nigerians have began asking questions. And everyone seems to want answers to the same question.

So I ask again: Where is Femi Gbajamiala?

The Chief of Staff is not a public-facing position. He is essentially the president's personal assistant. This is a pointless inquiry.

Everything is not about noise

He was with Tinubu in Awka

Precisely. I was about to say the bolded till I read your post. Should Gbaja be cutting grass outside Aso Rock fence just to be visible to then keep some happy?

Nigerians are just obsessed with people and personalities rather than ideas. That is part of the reason our nation is backwards. The saying below confirm what many Nigerians are.

This is a chidish and unnecessary question. You're not asking where the local government chairman you voted for is doing

You left the lawmakers and governors you voted, you're asking where Tinubu personal assistant is, do you want to kidnap him?

Go to Aso-Rock now.

The man is busy collecting

Good post and point. OP is not bothered per the whereabout of political leaders who impact his life directly like his Senator, HOR member, LG chairman and State Governor.

It is the whereabout of a glorified PA to the President of Nigeria that is uppermost in his mind.

This type of thread usually surfaces when someone wants to start a rumour.

Femi Gbajabiamila is not missing, he has been very visible. Watch any video of the president's activities and you'll see him there. Look at any picture of the president's activities and you'll see him there. So why this thread?

The answer is that this thread exists because the OP wants to start a rumour that is not based on facts.

💯💯💯💯💯💯

I thought OP was going to ask a question about what Cos should have been doing that he missed, instead he's looking for him. Gbaja has been the most outwardly facing COS we have had, he should go and do his job INSIDE.

Number 1, it's not news Gbaja wants to be Governor and it was never hidden. This was a concern for people when he collected this kind of appointment that is covert.

Number 2, unlike his predecessors? Which of his predecessors did you see everywhere like Gbaja?

Abdullahi Mohammed?
Osinowo?
Oghiadomhe?
Arogbofa?
Gambari?
Abba Kyari?

It was Kyari's understanding of the job that made people spread rumour about him during Buhari's time and he didn't help matters because he didn't respond to them. Someone who used to write every week suddenly FEM! When Buhari lost him, the difference in his administration was visible

Either Gbaja's ambition or his former job as leader of the house got him confused that he thought he has to be seen everywhere.

Making money and cashing out.


Why do you ask?

see post by a by a nigerian youth....he is inside your dilapidated building... did his people tell u that he was missing

The Chief of Staff is a quiet role.
The individuals are people who ensure that the machinery of Government is running, not loud but everything in Government revolves around them.

Chief of Staff , without a Staff of office.
We told you that the man will run the country with his family, you guys did not believe.
Soon many of you will also ask where is Kashim Shettima.
The SGF have long be silent also.
Aso Rock Villa is about family affairs.
The son is running the country as the de facto vice president and also double as the Chief of Staff.
The only work of Honourable Femi does now is only to rush to the Airport to receive his boss and go back home and sleep until the next trip to Paris.

If you are an assistant to a strong oga, one way to succeed in such a role is to do your work effectively and keep a low profile.

You don't want to give off a perception that you are competing for attention with the OG.

This thread lacks merit and shows ignorance, Chief of staff is basically, the president's Personal Assistant/secretary and head of his Personal staff....He is not meant to be seen and overly active outside of the presidential villa, and He is as powerful as the president allow.....and The only major advantage he has is his direct access to the president most times, based on his office, but on paper he doesn't hold much influence like that, Abba Kari was an anomaly and He did things beyond his office, and i will blame Buhari for that

The truth is that Tinubu and family have taken over the administration of the government. It's no longer Nigeria it is now Tibubu and Family company. You see Seyi Tinubu everywhere as if he is the chief of staff or vice president of nigeria. Others are not allowed to say or do anything. Such pathetic situation

Hmmmmmmm

Stupid post,I bet this post was written by an Obidient.
Wetin concern you with Chief of Staff?
Chief of Staff na minister?

You can cook up any kind jargon in your head but that doesn't make it true.

But them experience has shown that when opposition talk like this, they've been so badly defeated they are incoherent in their thoughts and speech

Or maybe his hands has been caught in the cooking jar of corruption and has been giving a soft landing hence his lack of visibility.

Meaning the Agbadorians are a bunch of small minds for always having Peter Obi's matter as their occupation and preoccupation. Thank you for the cryptic message.

Well Mr op, its very clear to me that you asked a very valid question, I don't watch TV, but am always glued to my phone, but you ask this question at the very wrong channel

Baba is doing well for his people
