Ajuri Ngelale: Controversy Surrounds His Role as Tinubu's Spokesman
Ajuri Ngelale Faces Backlash over Spokesmanship
A Nigerian investigative journalist, Jaafar Jaafar has knocked Ajuri Ngelale, ex-spokesman to President Bola Tinubu, following his resignation on Friday. Jaafar stated that Ngelale is the first presidential spokesman whose television face and Oyibo accent earned him the plum job.
Details of the Resignation
DAILY POST earlier reported that Tinubu's ex-spokesman announced his decision to take an indefinite leave of absence from his official duties. This was contained in a memo submitted to the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, on Friday.
Jaafar's Allegations
However, in a post on his X handle on Saturday, Jaafar alleged that Tinubu brought Ngelale for cosmetic effect to smarten the President’s geriatric outlook and guttural voice.
