Gbajabiamila denies being convicted of any crime in Nigeria or abroad

House of Representatives Majority Leader Femi Gbajabiamila has denied that he was ever convicted of a crime anywhere in Nigeria or overseas as had been in the news. The Nation reports that Gbajabiamila's campaign put to rest reports making the rounds that he was convicted of a crime somewhere in the United States.

Director-General of the Gbajabiamila Campaign Organisation Abdulmumin Jibrin, said the claims were attempts to smear the character of Gbajabiamila, the leading Speakership candidate for the 9th Assembly.
