A former presidential spokesperson, Doyin Okupe, has lashed out at those criticising Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Nigerian President, over his Christmas Day message on Twitter.
Mr. Adesina had tweeted Friday morning, “Merry Christmas to all, including the Wailing Wailers,” a message that sparked fury and negative reactions among many of his followers.

The criticism that followed was so intense that Mr. Adesina trended on Twitter for most of the day.
But Mr. Okupe, who was initially thought to be deeply critical of Mr. Adesina and the present administration, rose in fierce defence of the presidential adviser.

In a post on his Facebook page, Mr. Okupe said Mr. Adesina’s comment was “totally harmless” and that the condemnation that trailed it was unnecessary.

He described those criticising the presidential adviser as “intemperate and over sensitive” people digging “for faults and loopholes to bring down people in public offices”.

Mr. Okupe said, “I am not an apologist of this administration neither am I a supporter.


“The post by Femi Adesina this morning is totally harmless and does not deserve the vitriolic attack or condemnation that it seems to be getting.

“I have not spoken to Femi but I know he included ‘including the wailing wailers’ just as a form of anecdote that is not unusual with writers.

“Many people on the social media network are too intemperate and over sensitive.

“They look out for faults and loopholes to bring down people in public offices.


“They also set up unrealistic and sometimes practically impossible moral grounds which they themselves cannot keep for public officers.

“I know for a fact that people like me are supposed to be the ‘wailing wailers’ and we are not angry neither do we feel insulted by this otherwise humorous Xmas greetings.

“On behalf of the wailers we salute Femi and thank him for this inconclusive Xmas felicitation.”

Didn't know Okupe get sense sha...

Why not..

In all, PDP displays some maturity. A matured response.

fhelihx:

Why not..

Because wailers are not supposed to have common sense hence being wailers of course..

Hmm.

Op

PDP is being mature with their role as opposition

By 2019 they will use it against APC if APC fails

Doyin Okupe has for once proven not to be an OMO-ALE JATI JATI after all. lol

Sounds patronizing to me. Not buying it.

Ok.. my moniker says it all

One of wailing wailers minority leaders has spoken. Wailers should shut up,those criticising that harmless tweet are senseless wailers that have to be kicked out of the wailing wailers association.

wailing wailers message is endorsed by wailing wailers

seems these wailers are more reasonable than the children of anger change

Okupe no space for u in this government. Try again later.

Ur moniker aint saying nada

lol. When I read Adesina tweet was like.... Why is APC and it's member so fake. Even common Xmas wish you are politicising it.
What d fuc.k is "Merry Xmas to Wailing Wailer"

We are in a system where a ruling party is still acting like an Opposition and the main opposition acting maturely as ruling party. #whatashame

Okupe nd adeshina should be ashamed of themselves especially adeshina who is buhari's(president nd rep of the nigerian people) spokesman trying to divide the govt of his boss. Wat da heck is a wailing wailer instead of him to incorporate all factions into da buhari lead govt.bubu had better sack dis man smh.



Merry xmas from Darfay
wids lots of love

CltrAltDel:

Aiit sir

Seems Okupe doesn't even know an insult even when it pokes its fingers into his eyes!

A presidentials spokesperson "humorously?" Insulting a section of the populace his principal is supposed to be leading?

They are realising the truth ,ONE BY ONE!

If Doyin Okugbe Can Pull Off This Comic Relief On His Co-wailers, Then There Is Hope I Can Be A Wailer Too.

Wailing Wailer Is A Form Of Anecdote- Doyin Okugbe.

















No Lie Only Truth!

Don't be deceived. The indomie is still in there.

I hope the cartoonist will change the picture of Doyin okupe having his brain replaced with indomie to FFK or Abati.

Mr. Dr. Doyin Okupe has earned my respect on this one.

Objectivity rules!

The Biafran wailing wailers are coming for this Yoloba.

We salute Adeshina and his 'inconclusive' Christmas message

Anything That Will Make The Wailers Cry, Is Welcomed By Me.

Kudo To Femi!!!

Firstly, this is a matter of Guilty conscience
Did Femi Adesina mention anybody's name?
Secondly, even if your are a wailer, can't you prove us wrong by keeping quite.
