I see it coming when the opposition party criticized the unminded lifting of some part of Ubama's speech into Buhari's 'Change begins with me' speech. The is that he might not aware of it and this time thanks to the opposition for the critique and successful finished the carrier of unprofessional writer.
Here is it, the writer has been fired.


President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered that prompt and appropriate disciplinary action be taken against those responsible for a wrongful insertion in his speech delivered on September 8, 2016 at the launch of the “Change Begins with Me’’ campaign.
It was observed that the similarities between a paragraph in President Obama’s 2008 Victory Speech and what President Buhari read in paragraph nine of the sixteen-paragraph address while inaugurating the Campaign on Thursday, September 8, 2016 are too close to be passed as coincidence.
There was a mistake by an overzealous staff and we regret that this has happened.
Already, a Deputy Director in the Presidency has accepted responsibility for the insertion of the contentious paragraph.
This serious oversight will be investigated thoroughly and appropriate sanction meted.
The Presidency wishes to state in the clearest possible terms that it regrets this unfortunate incident and will ensure that this does not happen again.
President Buhari urges Nigerians to look beyond this incident and focus on the message of change, which the country needs in order to restore our cherished value systems.
The plagiarized paragraph in President Buhari`s change begin with me speech, reads: “We must resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship, pettiness and immaturity that have poisoned our country for so long. Let us summon a new spirit of responsibility, spirit of service, of patriotism and sacrifice, Let us all resolve to pitch in and work hard and look after, not only ourselves but one another.
“What the current problem has taught us is that we cannot have a thriving army of rent seekers and vested interests, while the majority suffers.”
President Obama had in a speech delivered after his victory on November 4, 2008, seven years before Buhari`s election, said,
“Let’s resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.
“So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other. “Let us remember that, if this financial crisis taught us anything, it’s that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.”

It is the duty of every Nigerian to perform thier duties diligently


I don't think firing is the solution, the shame and the dent on her record is already enough punishment


Doesn't surprise me though, most of our so called graduates and politicians used a direct copy and paste as Thier final year project




Yes, you too,


#ChangeBeginsWithYou

Abeg leave matter for martyrs. Who cares?

Initially I was a buhari supporter but I have to agree with the Igbo's on this, Buhari is a certified dullard.

Your policies have done a lot more harm than this your dry speech. Sack your economic team and other thieves and failures in government

Was Buhari not supposed to go through that write up, correct it before delivering it?

Must he accept everything handed over to him for presentation?

Can't he make his own input?

We continue to blame every other person for the same one man"s mistake.

The speech writer deserves a sack for not practising "change begins with me" which the speech was trying to tell Nigerians.

bubu has no capacity to make anything right. He only knows how to destroy.

Fire him. He is not original. He is bokoharam.

Even if he went through it, what could he do? Did Buhari himself knew that Obama made such speech in 200


Instead of him to take responsibility for his ineptitude,, he's sacking up and down.


A leader who cannot take responsibility for his mistakes is not worthy to have faithful followers.

Ok

Nigerians and the opposition has gang up to make the speech writer loose his job. Wow

After appointing dullards who passed through the schools with the help of Quota system himself in his cabinet.
I wonder how he wants them to perform magic when they don't have anything upstairs.

The old saying still insist that you cannot give what you don't have.
Buhari and his Quota system gang can testify to it.
