Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, has described his relationship with\u00a0former President Muhammadu Buhari<\/strong>\u00a0as one of the great honours of his life.<\/p>\n

In a\u00a0tribute, Gbajabiamila reflected on the death of the former President as a personal and national loss. He noted that Buhari\u2019s passing had left him with a deep sense of bereavement.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will forever be one of the great honours of my life that I got to know, work with and enjoy the friendship of Muhammadu Buhari,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

The Chief of Staff praised Buhari\u2019s steadfastness during difficult moments in government, recalling how the late President provided consistent support during his time as Speaker of the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n

According to Gbajabiamila, President Buhari remained true to his word even amidst intense political machinations aimed at undermining the legislature.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen these machinations became a distraction and I went to him, he assured me that only the national interests mattered to him and that as long as I continued to serve that interest, I would have his support. As was his nature, he remained true to his word and thoroughly resisted those attempts to sabotage the House\u201d, Gbajabiamila stated.<\/p>\n

He credited the former President with enabling a period of legislative stability in the 9th National Assembly, allowing it to evolve as \u201ca legislature of policy innovation dedicated to the service of the Nigerian people.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, this is part of Buhari\u2019s lasting legacy.<\/p>\n

Gbajabiamila described Buhari as a man of dignity, integrity, and tenacity, noting that despite the inevitability of human imperfections, the late President was always guided by a deep love for country.<\/p>\n
