Dele Alake Denies Being Appointed Presidential Spokesperson

A former Lagos commissioner of information and strategy, Dele Alake has stated that he has not been appointed as the spokesperson of President Bola Tinubu.

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

However, in an interview,  the former director of strategic communication of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign, said the news of his appointment was fake.

“It was fake news. I’m always surprised when news people failed to recognise fake unsigned stories,” Alake said.
