The Presidency has dismissed reports claiming that President Bola Tinubu has replaced his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, with his Principal Private Secretary, Hakeem Muri-Okunola.
The clarification followed the circulation of unverified claims on social media, with some posts alleging—without evidence—that the change was based on information from “insider” sources.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, described the reports as false and urged Nigerians to ignore them.

Onanuga stated that there has been no change in the Chief of Staff position, stressing that Gbajabiamila remains in office, while Muri-Okunola continues to serve as Principal Private Secretary.
He said the viral claim was a deliberate fabrication by purveyors of fake news seeking to create tension within the government.
The Presidency also cautioned media organisations and social media users to always verify information before publishing or sharing it, warning against the spread of misinformation that could mislead the public.
