Days After Brand New G-Wagon Birthday Gift To Wife, Gbajabiamila Doles Out Motorcycles, Tricycles & Buses To Constituents
Fifth term seeking federal lawmaker, Femi Gbajabiamila has taken another huge step that would help douse the controversy of his brand new G- Wagon gift to wife, Salamotu.
The majority leader has been heavily criticized for presenting his wife a flamboyant 50th birthday gift in the midst of trying economic period. 
The public outcry which took a heavy toll on his image as a “serious” and “dedicated” people’s representative forced a public apology from his family and friends – and a statement from the federal lawmaker explaining the “importance of the gift”.
And Gbajabiamila whose political opponents are having a field day with the multi-million naira birthday gift just took another huge step to contain the situation.
He just doled out 160 Motorcycles, 25 Tricycles and 30 buses to members of his Surulere 1 Federal Constituency, Lagos.
The presentation reportedly took place at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere Lagos.
The presentation was carried out under the project tag “A Multi-Layer Transportation Initiative to Empower and Ease Movement”.
Checks by societynow.ng, however, revealed already opponents have started coming for the embattled lawmaker by comparing the value the exercise with what was handed over to “madam”- and the use of 160 motorcycles in a state where there is a rigid enforcement on the ban of Okada (commercial motorcycles).
“The reality is that since he handed opponents the ammunition to light him up with his wife’s expensive 50th birthday gift, whatever he does now would be heavily scrutinized. And most times unfavorable” an insider pointed out.
