Ajuri Ngelale, the spokesperson to President Bola Tinubu, has left his role.
He revealed this in a statement he personally signed and posted on his verified Facebook page on Saturday.
He said that the decision was motivated by a “vexatious medical situation,” which had become worsened.
His resignation as the president’s imagemaker automatically affects other presidential roles assigned to him, including special enjoy on climate action.
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 I during this time.
