Subomi Plumptre of Alder Consulting has also pulled out of the New Media, Citizens & Governance Conference which opened in Abuja on Wednesday.
She follows the step of Personal Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on New Media, Bashir Ahmad, who announced his withdrawal on Tuesday.
Like Ahmad, Plumptre pulled out because of the inclusion of social media sensation, Bobrisky, as a speaker in a session on Thursday.
Alder Consulting on Wednesday issued an official statement stating why their staff could not go ahead with the conference.

According to the firm, Bobrisky is not the kind of character they wish to associate with.
They say the cross dresser was not in the speakers’ list when Plumptre agreed to moderate a session tagged Engagement Unusual.
The new media conference is hosted by EiE Nigeria, Paradigm Initiative Nigeria (PIN) and BudgIT, with Facebook and Google as headline sponsors.
Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, was one of the speakers on the opening day.
