PRESIDENT TINUBU'S SPOKESMAN, AJURI NGELALE STEPS DOWN
Ajuri Ngelale is the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Publicity and he has announced stepping down from that role with immediate effect.
This decision was contained in a statement that was issued by the Presidency on Saturday.
In the statement, Ngelale informed that he had submitted a memo to the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila and had informed him of his plan to proceed on indefinite leave.
Ngelale also said he has stepped down as the Special Presidential Envoy on Climate Action and Chairman of the Presidential Steering Committee on Project Evergreen.
The statement read, “On Friday, I submitted a memo to the Chief of Staff to the President informing my office that I am proceeding on an indefinite leave of absence to frontally deal with medical matters presently affecting my immediate nuclear family.
“While I fully appreciate that the ship of state waits for no man, this agonizing decision — entailing a pause of my functions as the Special Adviser to the President on Media & Publicity and Official Spokesperson of the President, Special Presidential Envoy on Climate Action, and Chairman, Presidential Steering Committee on Project Evergreen — was taken after significant consultations with my family over the past several days as a vexatious medical situation has worsened at home.
“I look forward to returning to full-time national service when time, healing, and fate permit. I respectfully ask for some privacy for my family and me during this time.”
