Shehu Sani to Ngelale: You can now rest, switch off your phone, regain some weight

Former lawmaker, Shehu Sani, has reacted to the temporary leave off work by Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity.

Daily Trust had reported how Ngelale, in a statement he posted on his Facebook page on Saturday, said he had informed the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, of his intention to proceed on an indefinite leave of absence.

According to him, he stepped down from his position as the spokesperson for President Bola Tinubu to squarely attend to health matters involving his nuclear family.

“On Friday, I submitted a memo to the Chief of Staff to the President informing my office that I am proceeding on an indefinite leave of absence to frontally deal with medical matters presently affecting my immediate, nuclear family,” the statement read in part.

Weighing in on the development, Sani, in a post via X, said Ngelale can now rest well, switch off his cell phone and regain some weight.

“Ajuri can now rest well, sleep well, eat well, switch off his phone and even add some weight,” the former federal lawmaker, who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the 8th National Assembly, wrote.

Ngelale was appointed as the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity on August 1, 2023.
