Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 30326, member: 2262"] Ajuri Ngelale called President Bola Tinubu his father during birthday wishes for the leader. Tinubu turns 73 today, March 29. Ngelale described him as the last man standing on Saturday because he supports people when the odds are stacked against them. The former aide said the president guides people toward success and cheers them on during tough times. Ngelale stepped away from his presidential spokesman duties on September 7, 2024. He also left his position as Special Presidential Envoy on Climate Action and gave up chairing the Presidential Steering Committee on Project Evergreen. He sent a memo to Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila explaining he needed unlimited leave for medical problems affecting his immediate family. He never mentioned when he planned to come back. The birthday statement explained that Ngelale hardly knew Tinubu before joining the government. Despite campaigning actively for him, they had met just twice previously. Ngelale discovered his greatest mentor and father figure after working closely with the president. The nickname means far more than someone who bravely campaigned nationwide during shortages of money and fuel. It describes someone who never abandons you when challenges appear. According to Ngelale, Tinubu passed down important wisdom. The president taught him that serious mentorship creates glorious futures when passed to younger generations. Ngelale learned that strategic patience defeats brute force. He discovered how steady persuasion from honest conviction overcomes bullies and manipulators. The former spokesman expressed deep thanks to Tinubu for lighting the paths that future leaders will follow. His message closed by asking God to bless Tinubu with divine wisdom, peace, health, and everything needed to build their dream nation. [/QUOTE]
