Buhari To Name Journalist, Tolu Ogunlesi, SA New Media by talk2smat(m): 4:41pm On Jul 16, 2015 |
President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed Tolu Ogunlesi, a journalist, as his Special Assistant on New Media. Officials at the presidency told PREMIUM TIMES Mr. Ogunlesi has undergone security screening and his appointment is to be announced in the coming days. Mr. Ogunlesi is one of Nigeria’s most active Twitter users, and was clearly in favour of Mr. Buhari’s election in the 2015 general elections. He will be the Buhari administration’s social media anchor, a role played by Reno Omokiri for former President Goodluck Jonathan. Mr. Ogunlesi describes himself as a poet, photographer, and fiction writer. Before his appointment, he was a freelance writer, contributing articles to various publications, mostly abroad. He also syndicated opinion articles in many Nigerian newspapers, including PREMIUM TIMES. Mr. Ogunlesi, who trained as a pharmacist, worked as Features Editor for the defunct 234NEXT newspapers. In 2009 he was awarded the Arts and Culture prize in the annual CNN Multichoice African Journalism Awards. He won the CNN award again in 2013 in another category. He was also shortlisted for the inaugural PEN/Studzinski literary prize. Mr. Ogulesi tweets via @toluogunlesi and has 143,000 followers.

Apart from the military officials, Buhari has only appointed News men, Garba Shehu, Adesina and Ogunlesi. This government is going to rule through Twitter, this is why it was wrong to vote an illiterate. Twitter may have won Buhari the presidency, twitter can't sustain his grip on power. 58 Likes 4 Shares |

Chai!! The only post befitting of our Yoruba brothers is media spokesperson. This is an insult to the entire Yoruba tribe who were the brain behind the re-branding of a tyrant General Buhari. I weep for Tinubu. 56 Likes 4 Shares |

Great. Tolu is a great guy. I have had cause to interact with him. He's probably the most brilliant under-35 columnist in Nigeria, in my opinion. Confession: I lobbied for this position. I talked to Femi Adesina, a senior friend on a first name level, that I won't mind handling their Social Media for them when I realised Garba Shehu and Femi were not so social media savvy. I still have records of our conversation. I have a feeling a feeling my name was among the suggested names for this position, but Tolu will beat anybody. Tolu is a great guy that has the mien , temperament and knowledge to handle the job better. His level-headedness is another bonus. Tolu doesnt come across as someone that will play a Wendel Simlin. He has a name to protect as a CNN award winning journalist. I wish him all the best. He is the best man for the job. 66 Likes 2 Shares |
