July 03, (THEWILL) – The Speaker of the Federal House of Representative, Honourable Femi Gbajabiamila, has clocked 60. Many had expected the politician to roll out the drums in celebration of his birthday, but he chose to mark it with a general prayer at the Ansar–Ud-Deen Central Mosque, Wuse 2, Abuja. The prayer session was attended by dignitaries and political bigwigs in the country. The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Gboyega Oyetola of Osun State and party stalwarts were in attendance.
Gbajabiamila became the speaker of the House of Representative in 2019, although his political journey as a lawmaker started in 2003 when he was elected into the House to represent Surulere 1 Constituency of Lagos State on the platform of the APC. He was later re-elected in 2007. He served as the minority leader of the House in the 7th Assembly and also the head of the House Ad hoc Committee investigating claims by the Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON) on the N140.9 billion debt owed by Zenon Petroleum and Gas and Forte Oil Plc.
