The Gbajumo family of Lagos State has debunked the controversy on the social media by a social critic Abisoye Oshodi (IG: @baloguneko) that Prof. Taofeek Ibrahim is not a Lagosian.
The family in a statement in Lagos on Saturday signed by Alhaji (Engr.) Mutiu O. Gbajumo and Alhaja Muibat O. Ajala (Nee Gbajumo), said that Ibrahim, a Professor of Public Health, Usman Danfodio University, Sokoto (UDUSOK) and former VC Al-Hikmah University, Ilorin is a bonafide member of the Gbajumo dynasty.
“His father was from the Ogabi, Osajobi, Sakariya Aina Gbajumo lineage. Some members of the family settled at Okeposu in Epe while others returned to Lagos with King Kosoko.
“The Gbajumo dynasty is a major lineage of the Ogabi Branch of the Eletu-Iwashe Chieftaincy Family. One of our Patriarchs- Chief Abubakre Gbajumo was the Eletu-Iwashe of Lagos between 1955 to 1971.
“We therefore want to state that Professor Mohammed Taofeek Olalekan Ibrahim be granted every privilege due to all Lagosians in general and/or be given every opportunity as may be due to all indigenes of Lagos State,” it added.
