THE INSIDER: Why Ajuri Ngelale quit as presidential spokesman amidst Aso Rock civil war

Nigeria's independent online newspaper

TheCableBy the time Ajuri Ngelale announced on Saturday that he was stepping aside as presidential spokesman, he had fallen out with many key presidency officials — Femi Gbajabiamila, the chief of staff; Hakeem Muri-Okunola, principal secretary; and Victor Adeleke, chief of state protocol. Not forgetting President Bola Tinubu’s son, Seyi, who — together with Gbajabiamila — engineered Ngelale’s appointment as special adviser on media and publicity in July 2023.

Leveraging on his closeness to the president and his son, Ngelale had reportedly proposed the creation of these three positions and received Tinubu’s approval. He then went ahead to issue a press statement announcing the appointment without recourse to the SGF, a development that enlarged the camp of his “enemies”. An enraged Akume drew the president’s attention to it.

The immediate trigger, TheCable understands, was the writing was on the wall that his days were numbered. Ngelale, 37, was also accused of not being a leader as he hardly gave any directions to his team members or held meetings with them.
