The president appointed Dele Alake, a seasoned journalist and media adviser to the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential council, as his spokesperson.

Hours after the inauguration on Monday, Femi Fan-Kayode, former minister of aviation, announced that Alake has been appointed as the president’s spokesperson.

“Congrats to my friend and brother Dele Alake for being appointed as presidential spokesman. He will do an excellent job and I am very proud of him,” he wrote on his Twitter page.

Alake was commissioner for information and strategy in Lagos between 1999–2007 when Tinubu was the governor.

In another dimension, the president appoints Dada Olusegun as the special adviser on digital media.
