Ajuri Ngelale Steps Down as Tinubu’s Spokesman, Cites Health Reasons
In a statement released on Saturday evening, the presidency confirmed that Ajuri Ngelale has officially stepped down from his role as the spokesperson to President Bola Tinubu.
Ngelale, who had been a key figure in Tinubu’s administration, is reportedly taking an indefinite leave of absence due to personal and health-related reasons.
The statement emphasized that President Tinubu has accepted Ngelale’s decision with understanding and compassion, acknowledging the difficult circumstances that have led to this course of action.
The president expressed his sympathy for Ngelale, stating that the reasons behind his leave were legitimate and deserved respect.
Tinubu also extended his best wishes to Ngelale, both in regard to his health and his future endeavors, while underscoring the importance of respecting the privacy of Ngelale and his family during this period.
Ajuri Ngelale has been a prominent political figure in Nigerian politics, having served as Senior Special Adviser on Public Affairs to former President Muhammadu Buhari.
His role under Tinubu was seen as an extension of his deep involvement in Nigeria’s public communication sphere, where he was often praised for his articulate defense of government policies and swift responses to public concerns.
While the presidency refrained from giving further details on the nature of Ngelale’s personal or health challenges, his indefinite leave marks a significant change in the Tinubu administration’s media and communication landscape.
The public and media outlets have been urged to respect his family’s privacy as they navigate this period.
As Ngelale steps back, the presidency is expected to announce further adjustments or a possible replacement to manage its communications strategy moving forward.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
