The Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on National Assembly matters, Senator Ita Enang, has not been sacked.
Enang’ s Special Assistant on Media , Essien Inyang , stated this in a chat with our Correspondent on Tuesday .
He said his boss was “slightly indisposed ” on Monday , hence his inability to pick calls to dispel rumours of his alleged sacking.
Inyang sent a quote from Enang’ s statement during a live radio programme in Uyo on Tuesday morning , where he ( Enang) confirmed his own position as Buhari ’ s aide at the Senate.
Enang reportedly said on the programme, “My name is Senator Ita Solomon Enang, and I am the National Assembly liaison officer — Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on National Assembly Matters (Senate ). ”
His aide, Inyang , told our Correspondent , “ Senator Ita Enang said this while speaking on a live interview on Akwa Ibom Mandate , a political programme aired on Planet FM 105 . 9 Uyo (Tuesday 13 th August , 2019 by 10 :40 a . m ). ”
Asked why Enang did not answer his calls since Monday when the news broke , Inyang said , “ This ( conversation ) is enough . He ( Enang) wasn ’ t disposed as at yesterday . ”
The Presidency on Monday declined official confirmation of the status of Enang, following speculations , that he had been relieved of his position.
Enang, a former senator, defected to the All Progressives Congress from the Peoples Democratic Party ahead of the 2015 polls .
He eventually became the SSA to the President on National Assembly Matters.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity , Mr . Garba Shehu , redirected enquiries to the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation , Boss Mustapha .
“ The SGF is in the best position to speak on that , ” Shehu had said .
Enang also remained inaccessible on Monday , as calls to his two mobile lines were not picked.
