Abdulaziz Abdulaziz: The Man for the Job
An Open Letter to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu
By Nasiru Zango
Dear Mr. President,
In light of the recent voluntary resignation of the presidential spokesperson, there is a significant need to fill the vacant position with a capable and competent individual. In my humble opinion, there is no better choice than Abdulaziz Abdulaziz, your current Special Assistant on Media, a man of exceptional intellect, experience, and dedication.
Abdulaziz’s capacity to step into this critical role would be the most astute decision for your administration. His extensive background as a reporter and editor for esteemed publications such as Blueprint, Premium Times, and Daily Trust has left a legacy of excellence that continues to resonate across Nigeria. Abdulaziz is a recipient of numerous awards, including the prestigious Wole Soyinka Center for Investigative Journalism Award. His integrity, dedication, and work ethic remain exemplary despite his elevation into the corridors of power within Aso Rock Villa. Arrogance and vanity are foreign concepts to him, as he continues to maintain strong relationships with colleagues and friends across the media industry.
Despite the challenging task of defending the present administration, especially given the economic policies that have brought hardship to many Nigerians, Abdulaziz has consistently worked with dedication to enlighten the public. He reminds Nigerians that though the present may be tough, there is light at the end of the tunnel. His unwavering optimism and thoughtful communication have been crucial in maintaining public morale during these difficult times.
Abdulaziz is known not only for his professional prowess but also for his personal character. He is accommodating, approachable, and always ready to embrace friends and colleagues as family. These attributes have earned him respect from a wide range of people, both within and outside the media industry. His ability to foster inclusivity and carry everyone along has made him a respected figure across political divides.
Appointing Abdulaziz as your next presidential spokesperson would be a strategic move, one that would bring both competence and credibility to the role. His popularity, especially in the northern part of the country where he hails from, would enhance your administration’s connection with various regions.
As a Nigerian citizen and social commentator, I urge you, Mr. President, and the esteemed individuals within Aso Rock, to give this recommendation serious consideration. Abdulaziz Abdulaziz is more than qualified for the job. His intelligence is unparalleled, his experience speaks for itself, and his ability to use his pen as a powerful tool is second to none.
This recommendation is not made out of personal friendship, but out of a deep conviction that Abdulaziz Abdulaziz is indeed the man for the job. His capacity to succeed Ajuri Ngelale as presidential spokesperson would be an invaluable asset to your administration.
Sincerely,
Zango writes from Kano
