President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications (State House), Daniel Bwala, on Monday said he has taken over the role of former presidential spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale.

Ngelale, who was Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, vacated the position in September.

DAILY POST recalls that Ngelale had submitted a memo to Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, informing him of his plan to proceed on indefinite leave.

Ngelale said he temporarily stepped down as the Special Presidential Envoy on Climate Action and Chairman of the Presidential Steering Committee on Project Evergreen.

The former presidential spokesman said he stepped down from his role to deal with medical matters presently affecting his immediate family.

Tinubu, on Sunday, had appointed Bwala as his special adviser to take over Ngelale’s office.

Featuring on Channels TV’s Politics Today, Bwala said: “When Ajuri was there the nomenclature was Special Adviser on Media and Publicity and now that role is called Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications (State House). Sunday Dare works from the Office of the Minister of Information.”
