You’d be hard pressed to find a Nigerian resign a juicy public office. I am inclined to believe it is a health condition that is worsening and needs immediate attention and recovery is long.

Depends how much he has made and his level of longathroat.

Ngelale is exposed to USA property market and knows how much he needs to retire comfortably. Maybe he has achieved that amount. Most Nigerian politicians don't have that exposure and have expensive structures to maintain. Even the ones that want to hammer and travel have all manner of visas to procure. Ngelale looks like someone that can retire with $4m

BlueRayDick:
Like Treblechamp rightly said , I’ve been following election cycles for a while now and I’ve not really seen Senatorial and HOR candidates do much campaign beyond posters and bill boards that has their face , their party’s governorship candidate and presidential candidate.

When the governorship and presidential candidates of their party comes to campaign in their senatorial district/constituency , they will ensure they wet the ground and arrange crowd whom they will speak to. The governorship and presidential candidates will raise their hand and that’s all.

The rest of their own campaign is about sharing money , souvenirs and sometimes fighting the rival party’s candidate on their campaign tour. I’ve seen this happen in different campaign cycle over time.

That’s why people of questionable character and intelligence always make it to the house of assembly and they really can’t come up with good laws that will move the country forward .

They said he was sacked after losing out in the power tussle with Onanuga. They only gave him a soft landing to resign publicly .

Ibime:
I doubt there is anything major he can't beg his way out of, given his relationship with Tinubu family. I think he is fairly comfortable. Someone who grew up abroad often knows what to do with the money they have made, and he doesn't need to hold on unlike our Naija politicians who often don't know how to invest abroad

she should respect her host. Ireland is not no man's land.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]But she was nominated naa.

Why are they crying?

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Because the Irish electorate want her to respect her host

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Tinubu should not have given two people the same portfolio.

Na the first mistake be that.

Either Ajuri or Bayo should have been the SA, or at least they should know who was going to be the superior

PS: That is if FIJ is correct oh[/color]

[color=royalblue]But na Irish hosts nominate her naa

Were they sleeping when she was nominated?

Abi dem no see their fellow compatriots before they nominated Yemi?[/color]

Things in Aso Rock are more complex than we see them to be .

It was the same Aso Rock there was a shootout between Tunde Sabiu’s security and Aisha Buhari’s security . I think Aso Rock is another civil service on its own.

If the powers that be want Ajuri out , there’s next to nothing Tinubu can do to veto him in.

LordAdam16:
I don't also think it's about graft satiety.

LordAdam16:
You may be on the money.
There's always court politics in every powerful office.

It's clear he lost out.
The open question is why he's dropping it all.
One minute he is adding more portfolios, the next he is going off radar completely.

I don't also think it's about graft satiety.
If I were to venture a guess, it'd be something similar to UN DSG Madame Amina.
Dude has buffed up his resume and will decompress before meandering his way into the non-profit complex.
He appears to have more than a passing interest in climate action. I'm sure there's a DEI spot he could snag with a handful of recommendations. Get a 6 figure salary for upkeep and invest his Presidency loot (with no draws).

Personally, I think he should have run out the clock. It's not about greed.
It's about being practical. Like sportsmen, when you're hot sh*t, get the largest contracts.
There is a huge QoL jump from $4m to $25m to $80m to $150m.

We're all built different. So good luck to him.

Roland17:
At 37, Ngelale is still young, consequently he needs the continued exposure and spotlight at this level, especially if he wants to remain politically relevant for the future. This leads me to believe it may be beyond his control.

He lasted a year, which is enough to get him some bar but I don’t think anything extreme, especially in a visible portfolio like he held. $4M (if we are using this as the guesstimate) is a lot of bar, however, if he the goal is to buy properties in the US and retire living a large life in the US, he has a long way, considering he is still very young. If this is retirement, considering his exposure and intelligence, he would get bored really quick and want back in.

Again, this feels like some sort of sabbatical that was beyond his control at this time. I am inclined to health within his primary circle which includes him. After tasting power and control at this level, I expect him to attempt a comeback at some point in the near future.
