Tinubu’s spokesman, Ajuri steps down over medical concerns
Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President on Media & Publicity, has announced his decision to take an indefinite leave of absence from his official duties.
This was made known in a memo submitted to the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, on Friday.
In his statement, Ngelale cited pressing medical issues affecting his immediate family as the primary reason for this decision.
“This agonising decision was taken after significant consultations with my family over the past several days, as a vexatious medical situation has worsened at home,” Ngelale explained.
The leave of absence will impact Ngelale’s multiple roles within the administration.
In addition to his position as Presidential Spokesperson, Ngelale will also temporarily step away from his duties as Special Presidential Envoy on Climate Action and Chairman of the Presidential Steering Committee on Project Evergreen.
“While I fully appreciate that the ship of state waits for no man, this agonizing decision was taken after significant consultations with my family over the past several days,” Ngelale said.
