OnlyFans founder, Tim Stokely, has stepped down as chief executive.

He will be immediately succeeded by Amrapali “Ami" Gan, the company said on Tuesday, Dec. 21.

Gan was most recently the chief marketing and communications officer for OnlyFans and will now "assume the day-to-day leadership" of the London-based company from Stokely, who is leaving to "pursue new endeavors," OnlyFans said.

Stokely will remain on as an adviser to assist with the leadership transition.

Stokely said in a statement: "Ami has a deep passion for OnlyFans’ business and I’m passing the baton to a friend and colleague who has the vision and drive to help the organisation reach its tremendous potential.

"OnlyFans is still a new company and Ami brings a fresh energy and reflects who we are as a business."

Stokely founded OnlyFans in 2016 and the creator-focused subscription service has since become most well-known for allowing sex workers and other adult content creators to charge fans for content.

Gan has been with OnlyFans since 2020. She previously led communications and marketing for Quest Nutrition and Cannabis Cafe, a cannabis restaurant in West Hollywood.

In a statement, Gan said she was committed to making OnlyFans the "safest social media platform in the world."

"I look forward to continuing to work closely with our creator community to help them maximize control over, and monetise, their content," Gan said. "I will be leading an exceptionally talented team at OnlyFans that is delivering a unique experience for our creators and fans."

The Federal Government has declared Monday 27th, Tuesday 28th December 2021 and Monday, 3rd January 2022 as public holidays to mark Christmas, Boxing Day and New Year's Day celebrations respectively.

Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, who made the declaration on behalf of the Federal Government, felicitates with Christians and all Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora on this year’s Christmas and New Year celebrations.

Ogbeni Aregbesola enjoins Christians to practice the doctrines of Christ, which include but not limited to these – faith, hope and love.

"We must emulate the life of Jesus Christ in His practice and teachings on Humility, Service, Compassion, Patience, Peace and Righteousness, that His birth signifies. This will be the best way to portray Christ and celebrate his birth”, he noted.

He emphasizes that peace and security are two critical conditions for economic development and prosperity. He urges Christians and Nigerians to make the best use of this festive period to pray for the total eradication of insecurity bedevilling our dear nation.

Aregbesola strongly charges Nigerians not to be lulled into a false sense of security on COVID-19 pandemic but to note that it is increasingly assuming a very dangerous and harmful dimension with the emergence of a virulent variant, Omicron.

"This calls for deliberate responsibility and discipline on the part of all”, the Minister stresses.

The Minister enjoins all to adhere strictly to and observe all the stipulated non-pharmaceutical protocols and guidelines such as wearing of facemasks, frequent washing of hands with soap and water, using of hand sanitizer and avoidance of large groups. Also, he urges quick report to medical authorities of any respiratory illness observed in self and others before, during and after the Yuletide.

Speaking further, the Minister said this Yuletide calls for spartan discipline in order to prevent the spread of the virus in our community and the nation as a whole. Aregbesola says “Moderately celebrate the festival without large groupings and observe all the protocols stipulated by medical authorities. Take it as a point of personal responsibility to prevent the spread of the virus”.

The Minister also assures that the Government has put in place effective measures for the security of lives and property and expects Nigerians to support the efforts of security agencies by providing useful information that will assist them in the performance of their duties.

Aregbesola admonishes all citizens to remain focused and expresses confidence that the year 2022 would be a better year for us all. He wishes all Christians in particular a happy Christmas and all Nigerians a peaceful and prosperous New Year celebration.

“Mr President has been invited to come and commission some of our projects. He will spend two to three days in Kaduna commissioning projects in Kafanchan, Kaduna and Zaria.

“As you know, the President is a Kaduna-based citizen. He is originally from Katsina state, but he spent most of his life in Kaduna. And he’s retiring to Kaduna.

“We hope that he will be happy with what we have done and he will be proud of what we have done as an APC government, and we appreciate all the support that he has given us to enable us to do this.”
