Although not new to crisis, this time, the Chief of Staff to the President, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, might be up in arms against entrenched principalities, writes Shola Oyeyipo
Afew public officials in contemporary Nigeria have attracted the volume, intensity and persistence of attacks that have trailed the tenure of the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila.
Since assuming office, he has found himself at the centre of a whirlwind of allegations, insinuations, conspiracy theories and politically motivated narratives, many of which have collapsed under the weight of scrutiny, evidence and common sense.
Yet, what is perhaps most remarkable is not the allegations themselves. Public office, especially at the highest levels, naturally attracts criticisms.
Rather, it is the determination with which certain interests have sought to manufacture controversy around Gbajabiamila, even in the absence of proof, that deserves closer examination.
