Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>President Bola Tinubu\u2019s former Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs, Aliyu Audu, has tackled the president over non-access to him while working in the presidency.<\/p>\n

Audu said he never met with Tinubu during his almost two years working as his spokesman.<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, Audu had resigned from his position as SSA on Public Affairs.<\/p>\n

However, he berated the president for meeting with Nigerian singer, David Adeleke aka, Davido and Lagos politician, Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran, but failed to grant him access.<\/p>\n

In an interview on Arise Television\u2019s Prime Time on Thursday evening, the former presidential aide vowed to work against Tinubu\u2019s reelection.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI worked for the President for nearly two years. I didn\u2019t have a sit down with him. I\u2019m one of his spokesperson but he sat with Davido, who insulted him a couple of weeks before.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen he sat with that Jandor, who didn\u2019t even come second in Lagos election. It doesn\u2019t make sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

A few days to Audu\u2019s resignation, Davido\u2019s uncle and Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke had visited Tinubu in Lagos.<\/p>\n

It would also be recalled that in March, Jandor, who ran for Lagos governorship in the 2023 election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, met the President following his resignation from the PDP.<\/p>\n
