The former speaker of the House of Representatives said:

“I will tell you one thing today, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, he may not know it, but I have been around him for a long time, one of his greatest strengths and what catapulted him to where he is today were his former colleagues when he was a senator. So this is a constituency we must hold dear. We just shouldn’t burn bridges when we leave.”

The Forum also honoured Niger State Governor, Hon Umar Bago, and the Minister of Sports Development, Hon John Enoh.

Gbajabiamila thanked his former colleagues for organising the reception to honour them while he decried the absence of some other award recipients.
