"Social Media Is A Very Big Problem For This Country" - Garba Shehu by STEPHENBOI(m): 3:59pm On Apr 02, 2018
President Muhammadu Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, has expressed his displeasure with the negative influence that social media has on governance in the country.

While speaking during an interview on Sunday, April 1, 2018, the president’s spokesperson lamented that Nigerians fail to give President Buhari enough commendation for his good job because social media tends to view everything negatively.

Shehu further condemned reports that the president is shielding killer herdsmen from the law, arguing that it’ll take more than the president to achieve such a feat.

He said, “I hope you also realise that the social media has brought a lot of good things to the world and it has also brought a lot of problems not only in Nigeria but everywhere in the world.

“Nations of the world are talking about regulations and control, this is happening in Germany in the United Kingdom even the United States you see that a lot these technology companies are being fined for infringements that they cause.

“The thing is that there is a tendency to see things from a negative point of view when your point of view is shaped and colored by the social media.

“It’s always been heard that the default position of the social media itself is to be negative, so people have turned out to ignore grand reality and project images that are very negative.

“Otherwise I wonder, this is an administration that has done so extremely well and to a president who has sworn to an oath to defend the constitution and protect every life and property, it is very unfair and uncharitable to say that he will shield anybody, and in any case, the president controls only one layer of authority, what are the governors doing, is the social media also saying that the governors are protecting the herdsmen from the law, are they saying the local government are also protecting them?

“You see it has to take everyone at various levels of authority to shield somebody from the law in those circumstances, and the president himself, his passion is for the country, this is a president whose passion is not even for the office, even when everyone is asking him to go for a second term he is keeping quiet because his focus remains the nation and the problem of the country.”

It should be succinctly put that idiotic pigs of Biafra are the problem of social media in Nigeria.
Turning everything into lies,
Even Martin Luther king family were disappointed in their behavior.

Tell Buhari that propaganda can put one in power but can't guarantee a successful tenure

Tell him to desist from buying awards because it's for only his zombie supporters and not for sane Nigerians

Now go and borrow sense

these ones are not well
ibb used the press to his advantage when he plotted against slowmotion and became presido until june 12 took him out of office
the press hailed abacha for ousting shonekan and continued until abacha started planning to be life president
all these were before social media
the same apc criticizing social media used it to win election
in any sane society all those underage votes would have been chalked off but since its here it stood
oh and here are slow motion's fruits since he took over:
herdsmen killing
recession
loss of jobs
nepotism
official corruption

The taste of the pudding is in the eating. This first four years when he has re-election at stake is already too bad. Imagine the madness and unmitigated suffering there will be if he has another 4yrs with nothing at stake.

God forbid! It's not cast in stone that he must be president for 8yrs.

90% of APC campaign in 2015 election was through social media.It helped APC achieved it propaganda as well.They should not use social media to campaign in 2019 election if it has brought negative effects in buhari's government.
