The Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has hailed the appointment of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, as chief of staff to President Bola Tinubu.
The Delta Central lawmaker also applauded the appointment of George Akume as secretary to the government of the federation (SGF).
Mr Tinubu had earlier, in a statement on Friday, announced Messrs Gbajabiamila and Akume’s appointments.
In a statement by his media aide, Yomi Odunuga, on Friday in Abuja, Mr Omo-Agege described the appointments as round pegs in round holes.
The Delta APC governorship candidate in the 18 March election noted that their commitments to public service and dedication to the betterment of our nation stood them out from the lots.
