Tinubu’s New Media Aide Deletes Post After Openly Rejecting Appointment
An old post of Ajuri Ngelale, one of the aides to the former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, refuting the purported claim that President Bola Tinubu appointed him as spokesperson, has resurfaced.
This comes just as he took to his Twitter handle on Monday to officially inform his followers about his recent appointment as special adviser on media and publicity to President Tinubu.
Ngelale’s appointment was confirmed in a statement issued on Monday by the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF) and signed by the Director of Information of the office, Willie Bassey.
Checks reveal Ngelale had openly rejected working under the current administration saying “I do not accept such a role again”.
“PUBLIC NOTICE I have received congratulations from people regarding fake news circulating that I have been appointed into government once again as a Spokesperson. It is FALSE. Please disregard. Nothing of such has occurred, and I do not accept such a role again. Thank you,” Ngelale had posted on social media in June.
However, further checks confirmed the tweet has been taken down on Twitter.
