Unveiling the Reason Behind the Dismissal of Shettima's Aide by the Presidency

Fegho John Umunobo, the former Special Assistant to the President on Digital and Creative Economy, has been disengaged from his role following multiple reports of alleged financial misconduct, according to sources within the Villa.

The State House Director of Information and Public Relations, Abiodun Oladunjoye, confirmed the disengagement, warning stakeholders in the digital and creative economy and the general public not to engage Umunobo in any capacity on behalf of the administration.

Umunobo served in the Office of the Vice President, Kashim Shettima, before his disengagement. His departure comes after a series of allegations involving financial misconduct, which have been the basis for his disengagement, as reported by sources within the Villa.

The Presidency has advised that anyone who interfaces with Umunobo in the name of President Tinubu's administration does so at their own risk.

In a notable development, Tolu Olubunmi has been appointed as the new special assistant to the president for the digital and creative economy.

The allegations of financial misconduct have been a recurring theme in the disengagement of Umunobo, with sources within the Villa reporting that the alleged financial misconduct was the reason for his departure. The Villa has not released an official statement regarding the allegations, but the disengagement is a clear indication of the concerns surrounding Umunobo's conduct.

As the situation unfolds, it is expected that the Presidency will provide further clarification on the matter. In the meantime, the disengagement of Fegho John Umunobo serves as a reminder of the importance of accountability and integrity in public service.
