Are Jonathan's Aides Intentionally Making Him Look Clueless? by Collynzo22: 7:38pm On Sep 23, 2014 |
I have seen observed some possibly intentional gaffes in recent times that have contributed in no small way in making the present government look clueless and confused in some quarters - strangely by people who are heavily paid to do the complete opposite. 1. General Olukolade announced in April that the Chibok girls have been rescued by the military only to retract the statement after it was proven to be outrightly false. 2. Reuben Abati tweeted a picture of soldiers supposedly in Sambisa forest trying to rescue the Chibok girls, the picture had been in circulation long before the girls were kidnapped. He put up some very weak defences after being called out to that effect. 3. Doyin Okupe repeatedly tweeted a bringbackourgoodluck2015 hashtag, a frankly ill-conceived idea. 4. Reuben Abati tweeted a picture of President Jonathan being welcomed in Chad by Modu Sheriff just few days after he was accused of being a boko haram sponsor. I am sure he could have found a picture that Sheriff did not feature in or at least crop him out before releasing into public domain. Even a toddler would have know that such a picture would be used against the president. 5. Just today, General Olukolade retracted a statement confirming the release of the Chibok girls, a few minutes after confirming their release to local and international media houses. 5 Likes |

I am sure there are many more of such Gaffes I can't remember at the moment, if you do please feel free to post them. It is worthy to note that all those mentioned above come from a certain tribe. Could there be a conspiracy somewhere? Are they working for Tinubu? 6 Likes |

First, the President himself is an embarrassment to the office he's occupying. He doesn't seem to know what the office entails and how serious the business of the Office is. Secondly, the President has consistently confirmed his incompetence through his appointments, speeches, his actions and inactions. What is the brain behind appointing a Medical Doctor(Okupe) to do the job of Image Making? Labaran Maku is another blockhead and Abati is a pure journalist and not a image maker nor information manager. He got all these wrong. The best they will do is sycophancy and more embarrassment. Image making calls for strategic thinking, you gather your facts before disemanating information and expect feedbacks- in the form of praise and criticism. Your ability to handle feedbacks will greatly influence the image of your principal. It is a serious business. But our politicians are used to square peg in a round hole. The result is mediocrity and embarrassment. @OP no one is sabotaging Jonathan, his decision is working against him. 9 Likes |

When you highlight and escalate gaffe by certain individual and forget those of your kin(stella oduahgate) shows high level of nepotism and bias reasoning. The persistent gaffe and incompetency is a highlight and symbolic perception of this administration. I'm sure the people you mentioned were nominated to the head clueless by tinubu as part of the agreement to deliver the SW to the daft one in 2011. I just learn that it was tinubu that wrote the "america will know" tirade during the last NTA interview and infact he chose madam peace of the" na only you waka come" fame for him as wife way back in secondary school. Breaking news! Shekau is tinubu's nephew from his maternal side. 11 Likes |

What Olukolade did was a big slap to the military institution and the government. If I was the President, I will fire him and the service chiefs for this embarrassment. In some countries, the leader will resign!!! 3 Likes |

This President outsources everything, including his thinking, which is why he is terrified of facing opponents, the press and even falters during his reading of speeches. His low self esteem compels he employs the dregs of society who are best suited to massaging egos, being sycophants and bowing and scrapping before him. Many of his supporters here on Nairaland would do a far better job than Okupe, Abati etc but I doubt they won't tire and start to argue and force him to stand up for himself (which is what he's petrified of apparently) - so he keeps them far and prefers the vilest dregs next to him. Dude is just too lazy and sees Aso Rock as a place where one enjoys, poses for photos and allows others do the work - Its his fault, end of - all he has to do is choose humans rather than vermin 7 Likes 1 Share |

People do make genuine mistakes, sometimes out of over-zealousness and trying to impress their paymaster. Just that in this digital age and in the current politically charged atmosphere in Nigeria, every issue tend to be magnified 100 times and dissected 100%. 99% of those posting judgemental and senseless comments on this thread do not have upto 10% of the competence of the names mentioned by the OP in real life. Abati for instance is one of the best in his field, atleast in Nigeria. If you keep sacking everyone who errs around you, then you'll soon be on your own because to err is human. 4 Likes |
