President Bola Tinubu has sacked Fegho John Umunubo as Special Assistant on Digital and Creative Economy in the office of the vice president.
The announcement was contained in a statement by Abiodun Oladunjoye, Director of Information and Public Relations at the State House
No reason was provided for the decision.
According to the statement, Umunubo has been “disengaged with immediate effect” and no longer represents the administration in any capacity.
The State House warned stakeholders and members of the public against engaging with Umunubo in the name of the federal government.
“Anyone who interfaces with him in the name of President Tinubu’s administration does so at his or her own risk,” the statement read.
Meanwhile, this came barely a week after Umunubo publicly reaffirmed his support for the Tinubu administration.
In a birthday message to Vice President Kashim Shettima on LinkedIn six days ago, he had urged Nigerians to rally behind the Renewed Hope Agenda of the Tinubu government.
“May God continue to strengthen you with wisdom, health, and unwavering resolve as you support Mr. President in the realization of the Renewed Hope mandate,” he wrote.
Reacting to his sacking on Monday, Umunubo shared a screenshot of the State House press release on Instagram, writing: “It has been my honor to serve this country and the Creative Industry. Now I am free to fly.”
