The Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila, has disclosed why he became a lawyer.
Gbajabiamila, who is a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, disclosed that his inability to join the Nigerian Army pushed him into becoming what he termed a “bloody lawyer.”
In a video of him addressing some soldiers, the CoS to the president described the military as an inspiration to Nigerians.
He said: “Honestly, my height, my weight, my strength, everything disqualified me.
“Every time I attempted, I looked at the person to my right who is also attempting and the person to my right who also came for the interview, nobody needed to tell me to go home.
“I admire you guys so much and it’s one of the things I aspire to, so you are an inspiration to people like us.
“It was when I could not join the military that I went and became a bloody lawyer, God bless you.”
