“By virtue of your work, APC will continue to get stronger. Say Amen.”
President Bola Tinubu’s Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila sparked lighthearted exchanges during a courtesy visit to Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke in Osogbo. The APC chieftain humorously pressed the PDP governor to endorse a prayer for the ruling party’s expansion, saying, “By virtue of your work, APC will continue to get stronger. Say Amen.”
When Adeleke initially hesitated, Gbajabiamila teased, “Your Excellency, I didn’t hear your Amen,” prompting the governor’s eventual response: “Amen, we are all together.” The presidential aide quipped back, “That’s the point: we are all together,” diffusing political tensions with humor during the meeting at the Osun Government House.
The interaction highlighted the visit’s cordial tone despite partisan differences. Gbajabiamila reiterated confidence in APC’s strengthening through members’ efforts, while Adeleke’s participation in the exchange demonstrated cross-party camaraderie. Observers noted the diplomatic undertones of the engagement amid Nigeria’s charged political climate.
