Ajuri Ngelale, the spokesperson for President Bola Tinubu, announced an indefinite leave citing family health concerns, but insiders suggest his departure was influenced by internal conflicts and mounting pressure within the presidency. Ngelale, appointed in 2023, reportedly clashed with key officials, including Hakeem Muri-Okunola and George Akume, over his leadership style. His dual role as media adviser and climate envoy was also met with criticism, leading to growing dissent. Sources claim that Ngelale’s increasing isolation and missteps in communication made his position within Aso Rock untenable.
