In a letter dated January 9, 2023, addressed to the Director General of the DSS, Yusuf Magaji Bichi, Gbajabiamila expressed concern over the orchestrated smear campaigns targeting his reputation.

Titled “Request for Investigation of False Allegations and Sustained Campaign of Calumny Against my Person by Unknown Elements,” the letter details a six-month-long effort by unidentified individuals or groups using social media to spread unfounded accusations of corruption, malfeasance, and abuse of office against Gbajabiamila.

The former Speaker of the House of Representatives called for the prompt intervention of security agencies to uncover those behind the false allegations. Gbajabiamila emphasized that while he is inclined to ignore such attacks as typical political mischief, his role as Chief of Staff to the President obliges him to take action.

The letter stated, “Rather than hide behind the anonymity of the internet, let my accusers be unmasked to substantiate their claims or face the consequences of their libel against me.” Gbajabiamila also attached a selection of what he termed “the more egregious attacks of the past few months” to assist security agencies in their investigations.
