More and more Nigerians feel
inclined to agree that President Muhammadu
Buhari should deal with frictions that have
prevented him and his party, the APC, from
demonstrating tangible results in the first month
of governance. The Naij.com columnist ‘Yomi
Kazeem goes even further and says that
President Buhari should first focus on his
spokesmen — the ‘bridge’ between him and the
people — instead of trying to battle some
external forces, incuding the PDP which is now
in the opposition to the ruling APC.
Amid the various criticisms Goodluck
Jonathan faced over the course of his
presidency, one particular criticism remained
constant: the poor choice of media handlers.
Jonathan’s spokesmen won him little support
as, gaffe after gaffe, they turned out to be
one of the biggest reasons for the
disillusionment with the his presidency.
On social media, these men — the
mouthpieces of a president — were often
seen engaging in abusive exchanges (the
online version of fisticuffs) with regular
Nigerians. Their ‘ability’ to read the tone and
mood of the nation was infamously horrible.
They became notorious for publishing photos
of President Jonathan dancing and being
merry a day after bomb explosions and deaths
of Nigerians.
As far as presidential spokesmen go, the last
set was a clear manual of how not to be a
presidential spokesman.
Given the widespread belief that President
Jonathan’s handling of the media and choice
of spokesmen might have cost him the
presidency to some extent, everyone assumed
it would literally be impossible for his
successor to repeat the same mistakes.
Nevertheless, one month into the Buhari
presidency, the murmurs of his ineptitude
considering media handling are becoming
more and more audible.
Primarily, the job of a presidential
spokesperson is to relay messages from the
president to Nigerians. But their job often
goes far beyond that in many ways. One of
their biggest roles is to forge, build and tweak
the general perception of the president. So
far, President Buhari’s media handlers have
done little in that regard. The lack of a crisp
and coordinated communications strategy
since President Buhari’s taking over the office
has resulted in the shaping of different
perceptions of his presidency to fit various
narratives. With social media accounts of his
spokesmen sometimes silent for days, many,
including international media , are steadily
drumming up the perception that nothing is
going on.

Ok

People lyk adesina are one of d reasons dat causes GEJ'S downfall! Pls PMB, take note, I still believe in u

Wailing wailers.

Countdown to 40 days 40 nights without direction has begun.

Wailing Wailers. You can use this.

Lying Liars (APC) remains the worst thing ever to happen to Nigeria..

OrlandoOwoh:
Wailing wailers.

is that all you know

dunce

Well, am yet to see one of his Spokesmen arguing or exchanging words and insult on social media like Indomie brain Okupe, Metuh, FFK and Mokri.
Those Buhari has chosen are Men of reputable character that u can't see them talk anyhow. Except for once in awhile when u see them drop one bomb and go back e.g Wailing Wailers.
The only thing I want them to add is to be everly present on the platform which they use to reach the people.

TANoids have been trying for 5 weeks for a name to stick, but they're not having any headway. Adesina just dropped two words (Wailing wailers), and voila, it has become their first name.

Now, that defines what a political journalist is. He knows where to hit and he did it. Believe me, for the next 4 years dis name would keep hitting PDP and Tanoids.
It's not all those noise Metuh and FFK makes.
Adeshina has made Lai Mohammed job easier. I am not saying that is what he's appointed to do ooo, but u must protect the President from media distractions.

And in this game, you can see the other party is reactive and copycatting - no creativity at all! E.g.: They don't expect anything to come out of Buhari since Jonathan failed. When some somebody came with FeBuhari, they just reacted with FailBuhari. And now the #gejwhileyouwereaway as a reaction #BabaWhileYouWereAway. I tell you, its boring rolling with TANdroids. If that's all there in TANland, I won't advise even my archenemy to pay a visit.

They are opportunist! they rolled on the fact that Nigerians don't care about governance, and they took advantage of that. Now that the game has changed, they don't know how to go about it. U can see how they keep messing up their side of the bargain as an opposition. The truth is, APC is full of intellectuals and PDP is still trying to define themselves.

cc lala do the need full cos APC fans are not happy with this post.

And with rigging systems being dismantled, I think KOWA Party has more chances of success and being believed by Nigerians than them.

Whatever the outcome(it will be positive by God's grace) of this govt(APC) is, PDP is never the option for Nigeria. The wall of Jericho has fallen and it will rise no more.
