In a dramatic turn of events, President Bola Tinubu's trusted spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, has abruptly resigned from his key roles, citing a devastating family health crisis. The sudden departure of Ngelale, who was also the Special Presidential Envoy on Climate Action and Chairman of the Presidential Steering Committee on Project Evergreen, has sent shockwaves through the political landscape.
As Ngelale takes an indefinite leave of absence to address the mysterious medical emergency affecting his immediate family, many are left wondering about the circumstances surrounding his resignation. Despite his tight-lipped statement, speculation is rife about the nature of the medical condition and which family member is affected.
In a poignant personal statement, Ngelale expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to serve, revealing the anguish behind his decision.

As Ngelale steps away from the spotlight, he has requested privacy for his family during this challenging time, fueling further speculation about his future. Will he return to national service, or is this the end of his political journey? Only time will tell.
