The announcement, simply headlined “JUST-IN: Presidential Spokesman Ngelale Steps Down Over Family Health,” left many speculating about the circumstances that led to this sudden decision. Ngelale, known for his dedication and strong communication skills, has been a key figure in President Bola Tinubu’s administration, serving as the bridge between the presidency and the Nigerian public.
Sources close to the presidency suggest that Ngelale’s resignation, though rooted in personal matters, could not have come at a more critical time. With the country grappling with numerous national and international challenges, his departure raises concerns about the administration’s communication strategy moving forward.
