Ajuri Ngelale's resignation as special adviser to President Bola Tinubu has sparked diverse reactions on social media.

Notable figures like Shehu Sani and Joe Abah have commented on his departure, reflecting varying public sentiments.

Ajuri Ngelale's recent announcement of his resignation as the special adviser to President Bola Tinubu on media and publicity has sparked a flurry of reactions across social media platforms, particularly on X. Ngelale declared on September 7 that he would be taking an "indefinite leave of absence to frontally deal with medical matters affecting his immediate, nuclear family." In addition to his resignation, he stepped down from his role as the special presidential envoy on climate action.

Reactions varied widely, with some users wishing him well and others questioning the sincerity of his reasons for resigning. One user commented that Ngelale's decision was a wise one, given the complexities of his position. Former Kaduna senator Shehu Sani took a lighter approach, joking that Ngelale could now enjoy a much-needed break and add some weight without the pressures of his role.

Others echoed sentiments of support, like Joe Abah, a former director-general of the Bureau of Public Service Reforms, who described Ngelale as "approachable and helpful" in his capacity as climate envoy. Abah extended his best wishes to Ngelale in this new phase of his life.

However, not all reactions were supportive. Some users expressed skepticism about Ngelale's claims of health issues, urging him to reveal the true reasons behind his resignation, indicating that many were not buying the health-related story. Others showcased a more cynical perspective on the political landscape, reflecting on the implications of Ngelale's departure.

As the discourse continued, tweets ranged from sarcastic remarks about the political turmoil in the country to deeper reflections on the implications of Ngelale's resignation. Comments such as "AJURI NGALALE 'S EXIT: WISE AND SAVED AT THE ELEVENTH HOUR" suggested that some viewed his resignation as a necessary escape from a collapsing administration.
