Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, has said that the president is working to ensure security of lives and property improve.
Mr Gbajabiamila said on Saturday after casting his vote at Polling Unit 014, Ward 08 at Elizabeth Fowler Memorial School, Surulere, Lagos, in the House of Representatives by-election, that improving security is not the president’s job alone but that of every Nigerian.
“This administration needs full cooperation of the people and in so doing, we will all defeat these kidnappers and terrorists.
“Therefore, we need to come together for the better and by so doing, make Nigeria a great nation that we will all be proud of,” he said.
The Chief of Staff said that the economic challenges Nigerians are facing are because some fundamentals were missing in the first place.

“It is those economic fundamentals that this administration is trying to put in place, including fuel subsidy removal which was a national concession that it must be removed,” he said.
“I assure you that the benefits of subsidy removal will be reaped soon. It’s not immediate but the President knows what he is doing, and at the end of the day, everything will work out fine.”
Speaking on the by-election, Gbajabiamila said the process had been peaceful and smooth from the point of accreditation and voting.
He advised the winner to be focused, dedicated and committed to the people of Surulere.
Twelve candidates of different political parties are scrambling for 121,111 votes of registered voters with Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) in the election.
The seat became vacant due to Gbajabiamila’s resignation.
