The outgoing Deputy President of the ninth Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has hailed the appointment of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila as Chief of Staff to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator George Akume as Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).

Omo-Agege in a congratulatory massage issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yomi Odunuga, described the appointments as round pegs in round holes.

The Delta APC Governorship candidate noted that their commitments to public service and dedication to the betterment of our nation stood them out from others who were in consideration for the jobs.

He expressed confidence that they would bring their wealth of experience in public service spanning a combined period of more than four decades, to bear in their new assignments.

He particularly expressed excitement as both appointees are products of the National Assembly.

“In the various positions Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila and Senator George Akume have served in the National Assembly, they did so with distinction, working tirelessly to attract important developmental projects to their constituencies and advance the socio-economic development of the country in general.

“I am confident that they would deploy their immense wealth of experience, national and global connections in giving our President the needed support to deliver on his mandate of taking the nation to greater heights,” he said.
