The statement read: “On Friday, I submitted a memo to the Chief of Staff to the President to notify him of my indefinite leave of absence to address pressing medical matters concerning my nuclear family.

While I understand the importance of continuity in government, this difficult decision to step down from my roles—including Special Adviser to the President on Media & Publicity, Official Spokesperson, Special Presidential Envoy on Climate Action, and Chairman of the Presidential Steering Committee on Project Evergreen—was made after extensive discussions with my family due to worsening medical circumstances.

“I look forward to resuming my national duties when circumstances allow.

I kindly request privacy for my family and myself during this challenging time.”
