His rejection came after news made rounds that the former aide to ex-president Muhammadu Buhari has bagged an appointment as Tinubu’s spokesman.
At the time, Ngelale took to Twitter to debunk the piece of news, stating he had been receiving several congratulatory messages from people.
Ngelale who described the reports as false, stressed that nothing of such had happened and that he would not accept such a role again.
