Chief Ajuri Ngelale, the presidential spokesperson, has once again described President Bola Tinubu as a “workaholic” leader who works round the clock to fix the country.

Ngelale spoke on Friday during an interview on Business Global, a Channels Television programme and paid tributes to Tinubu as he marked his 72 birthday.

“The man is a workaholic, which is why some of us in the office joke, we call him ‘President no sleep’ because those of us who work with him also don’t get to sleep as a result,” the president’s aide said.

“I think Nigerians recognise even from his time in Lagos that this is a man who will wake up at odd hours touring roads, touring various projects making sure the civil servants are in the office on time.

“I mean this is a hands-on micromanager who is antsy when he’s not working. He needs to be working, his hands need to be working, he sleeps late, and he wakes up extremely early. This is who Nigerians have elected.”

Ngelale also described Tinubu as a “good listener” who is always willing to hear people out during interactions.

“I think one of the things that maybe most Nigerians would not know about him, having had the opportunity of working closely with him, is that he’s probably the best listener I’ve ever seen in terms of my interactions with leaders,” he said.
