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.
