Former Senator Shehu Sani, who represented Kaduna Central District in the 8th Senate, has reacted to the news of Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Publicity, taking an indefinite leave of absence.
Ngelale announced on Saturday that he had submitted a memo to the President’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, on Friday, informing him of his decision to step down temporarily. In addition to his media advisory role, Ngelale also resigned, for the time being, as the Special Presidential Envoy on Climate Action and Chairman of the Presidential Steering Committee on Project Evergreen.
Ngelale explained that he took the leave to address pressing medical issues affecting his immediate family.
In response, Shehu Sani commented on his official X account, suggesting that the leave would give Ngelale the chance to rest, switch off from work, and even “regain his weight.”
Sani wrote, “Ajuri can now rest well, sleep well, eat well, switch off his phone, and even add some weight.”
Ngelale was appointed as Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity on August 1, 2023.
