A coalition of Nigerian diaspora and local organizations has strongly refuted allegations leveled against Femi Gbajabiamila, the current Chief of Staff to the President. The groups assert that the accusations are baseless and serve as a mere distraction from substantive issues.

In a joint statement, representatives from Concerned Nigerians in Diaspora United Kingdom, Concerned Fulani People of Nigeria, and the Assembly of Lagos Youths collectively dismissed the claims. They emphasized that the allegations lack any credible foundation and are intended to undermine the office and the individual.

Kofo Williams, a US-based public affairs commentator and one of the signatories, highlighted the coalition's stance. The unified front presented by these diverse groups underscores a concerted effort to defend Gbajabiamila against what they perceive as politically motivated attacks. The coalition's statement aims to put an end to the speculation and refocus attention on governance.
