No division in presidency, Onanuga is someone I revere – Ajuri Ngelale

Ajuri Ngelale, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Publicity, has stated that there is no division or confusion among the presidential spokespersons. He commented during an interview on ‘TVC’s Politics’ on Sunday

This clarification comes after two separate statements were issued on May 28 regarding the President’s activities marking his one year in office. Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, announced that the President would address a joint session of the National Assembly on May 31, while Ngelale issued a counter-statement asserting that Tinubu would not be addressing the lawmakers.

Ngelale expressed his disappointment over some commentaries attempting to create confusion and division within the office of the president.

”I have been really saddened by some of the commentary attempting to create confusion and division within the office of the president, in respect to me and a very respected elder colleague, Bayo Onanuga.

“I want to be very clear that when I was somewhere in primary school, Onanuga was risking his life fighting against murderous oppressors on the streets of Lagos.

“He was defending the rights of Nigerians to be able to vote. Anybody trying to create the impression that I see myself as on par or equal with him should stop the conversation. Onanuga is somebody I revere a lot,” the presidential spokesperson said
