The lawmaker’s G-Wagon gift to his wife on her 50th birthday turned heads on social media.
Reacting in a statement on Thursday, the lawmaker said he saved for “a couple of years” to buy his wife the luxury vehicle.
He said the presentation was meant to be a family affair, however, it was delayed and arrived when guests were already around.
”I took the decision far back to present her with a significant gift, she was totally unaware of, to convey in part, the debt of my gratitude for her standing by me through thick and thin.
“I could never be half the man I am today without her support and unbelievable understanding.
“Truly, the monetary value of any gift, real or imagined, pales in significance when I consider how much of a rock and pillar she has been to me.
“As a public officer, one must be held to a higher standard.
“But I would rather want it to be seen as what it is; an expression of appreciation of deep love for my wife of almost thirty years, rather than one of flamboyance.”
Gbajabiamila said he remains committed to his values and towards improving the lives of his constituents and Nigerians.

The good thing about APC People is that they know how to save money. When Buratai bought his Mansion in Dubai, it was from the monies he saved from when he was a small boy, same thing with Yusuf Buhari whose Uncle bought him a Power bike. I love you guys in APC, You can save the World

DeleteMr. Man we know the truth. Keep stealing and saving God dey.
ReplyDeleteLie Lie politician. Save for years in this country where any amount you wants from the treasury within a second you get. Say that to gullible.

By the time I am done saving, we will have good roads in Nigeria.
The question is how much do you earn? Reps earn tens of millions so it’s possible.
DeleteYinmu!
ReplyDeleteIf I hear
ReplyDeleteO na gwa Beatie. Oga you used public funds to buy the g-wagon just like Buhari used public funds for his daughter's wedding simple
ReplyDeleteStory for the gods.
ReplyDeleteStory,story, storrrrry! I can never believe this lie. Savings ko,savings ni.
ReplyDeleteSomeone that ran away from Texas because he embezzled about 10,000 dollars from a client when he was practicing law there. He has always been a thief. Savings ko Loan ni.
ReplyDeleteWasn't it Atlanta and not Texas?
DeleteIt is 25,000 dollars that Femi Gbaja Gbajabiamila stole from his American client. In Atlanta Georgia, not Texas. He admitted the crime.
DeleteOga make sure you re saving for the sickness that's gonna attack you soon
ReplyDeleteBunch of weirdos, daughter be behaving one kan like craze person.
ReplyDeletePeople should calm down! He’s been at the National Assembly for 8 years and he’s just got his wife a GWagon? It’s even long overdue. We all know how much they earn , a la bogus salaries, so a motivated member of the house can afford a GWagon even in 1 year. It’s been 8 years, the wife just turned 50 and they’ve been married for 30 years! Haba, it’s worth the sacrifice and she deserves it. If he earns close to 200 million a year, saves 10 million annually while putting the money in an interest yielding account or even in a money market instrument like treasury bills, he should effortlessly be able to afford a GWagon in 8 years. So logically his explanation holds water, he’s a planner.. side eyes to Stella..
ReplyDeleteI don’t know why people are complaining. Are we so ignorant that we easily forget how much they earn? This man has been at the House of Representatives for donkey years! Don’t we know how much they earn? Buying a g-wagon for his wife after all these years shouldn’t be so hard na.. he can afford it even with what he legitimately earns..
ReplyDeleteWasteful couple....see the Ejele masquerade dress the wife waste money to buy......oshisco
ReplyDeleteAlternative facts....STFU there.
ReplyDeleteWhat's he saving to buy G - wagon, why didn't he save to built low cost house in his constituent or buy taxi cabs and give out to empower people in his constituency, instead of this wasteful spending.
Mtchewww......car that will soon become old model next year......rubbish
You’re ignorant and you’ve got an entitlement mentality. And who says he can’t fulfill his commitment to his constituency and still be able to do something special for his wife? The man said he saved, why can’t we accept that he did? With what he earns as a principal member of the House of Representatives of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, he doesn’t need to steal to buy his wife of 30 years an SUV. In this country, the car salesman can have the automobile delivered without him dropping a dime. It’s called INFLUENCE.. He could always come to a financial arrangement and spread out the payment over time. In essence, there are many ways of working these things out. Broaden your scope please..
DeleteOh my God. Such a huge poverty mentality and you are even feeling entitled .I pray God changes ur story
