The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has denied lobbying to be appointed as Chief of Staff to the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Gbajabiamila, who addressed State House correspondents after a meeting between the All Progressives Congress (APC) national leadership and newly-elected members of the National Assembly, urged Nigerians to disregard the rumour.
Gbajabiamila was absent at the presentation of certificates of return to the newly elected lawmakers by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) last week in Abuja.
