The Special Adviser on Media to President Bola Tinubu, Chief Ajuri Ngelale, has quit his position.
Ngelale, in a statement on Saturday, September 7, 2024, hinged the decision on medical reasons.
The presidential spokesman, who doubles as Special Presidential Envoy on Climate Action, said he had on Friday submitted a memo of him proceeding on indefinite leave of absence.
Ngelale said: “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.”
