Fatima, a daughter of Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Gandoje, has got her first political appointment.
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has appointed the young woman, who is also a daughter-in-law to former Governor Ajimobi of Oyo State, his Special Assistant on Non-Governmental and Civil Society Organisations.
This was revealed by Fatima’s husband, Idris (Ajimobi’s son) on his Instagram page.
He wrote, “Fatima Abiola-Ajimobi, I don’t know if you still believe me because I say it so often; you’re an extraordinary young woman. I have watched you struggle when you were at your lowest and noticed how you never lost faith and ‘you walk confidently in the direction of your dreams…’ The mantra you live by.
“I remember when I first met you and all you talked about was your humanitarian work through your NGO, @letstalkhumanity. Your goal is, and has always been to see the Nigerian child happy and thriving at their full potential. That’s your goal. You dreamt it and you strive hard to achieve it. I mean you run an e-learning centre for the disabled students at the Tudun Maliki Special School in Kano. Visually and hearing impaired students learning through technology! If this isn’t love, then I don’t know what is.”
“I am privileged to congratulate you on your appointment as the Special Assistant on NGOs and Civil Society to the Speaker of the National House of Representatives. Soldier on comrade!”
