The Chief of Staff to the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Tayo Ayinde has distanced himself from those agitating for him to become the Chief of Staff to President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Ayinde stated this in a press release received by Lagos Panorama on Monday said: “I woke up two days ago to read on social media about a write-up by some people on the issue of Chief of Staff to the President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu”.
“Let it be known to the writer and other agitators that the position of Chief of Staff does not need any advertisement of any sort”.
“By the grace of God, I got this my present position of Chief of Staff to the Governor of Lagos State by the collaboration of our President-Elect and my direct boss, the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu. No advert was placed on social media or pages of newspapers then. So why this unnecessary, needless, and unsolicited agitation for me”.
He noted that “What these agitators failed to realise is that the position of the Chief of Staff is the most sensitive and confidential of all political positions in government set up. In this regard, no one can impose or compel any person on anyone as Chief of Staff”.
“To the glory of God, I am comfortable and happy working under the able leadership of Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, owing to his large-heartedness, visionary, capacity, financial engineering, and passion for the development of Lagos State”.
“In conclusion, I appreciate you for believing in my capacity and truthfulness but this is never the way to go about it. Please stop all the social media placements. Thank you and God bless you all”.
