President Buhari’s Spokesmen Pose More Threat Than PDP by multikolour(m): 1:37pm On Jul 08, 2015 |
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. source:- http://www.naij.com/479674-president-buharis-spokesmen-pose-more-threat-than-pdp.html |

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. |

Dannyset: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. 1 Like |

MalcoImX: 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. |

Dannyset: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. 1 Like |

MalcoImX: 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. |
