Reuben Abati, former presidential spokesperson and co-host of Arise Television’s breakfast show, says President Bola Tinubu has the looks of a man who has settled nicely into his job.

Tinubu held his first media chat as president on December 23. Abati was one of seven journalists who interviewed the president in his Ikoyi, Lagos residence.

Speaking on the Morning Show on Tuesday, Abati said journalists were not asked to submit questions beforehand, and that the president’s responses did not come across as ‘word salad’ or bare-bone.

Abati commended the president for exuding confidence throughout the discourse.

“I liked the fact that, sitting next to him, he has settled into the job. He knows what he’s doing. He spoke with a lot of confidence,” he said.

“I was shocked that this man… they didn’t even prepare him. He just walked onto this set and he’s sounding like this. That again is something to commend.

“He was relaxed. I thought I could rattle him once or twice.

“Nobody asked us to submit questions; President Tinubu didn’t say what are you going to discuss? In fact, we did not see him until he walked onto the set.”

The former spokesperson to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan also implored Tinubu’s media team to hold the chat regularly.

“I was impressed with the fact that he was in very good spirits. He was prepared to take on the encounter and he was ready to talk to Nigerians,” he added.

“By way of recommendation, his media team should do this regularly. Let him do it again and again, and talk to Nigerians.”

Tell me you're Igbo without directly telling me you're Igbo


The stench of pseudo-logic can be easily perceived

Abati used to be a critic, he had a chat and aired a different view and even gave his reason, you all didnt analyze any of that, you just went off subject 100%

That is a lie.

1. Why didnt you ask him about the Aircraft he bought amidst abject poverty?

2. Why did you ask him why he awarded 15 trillion Naira project without approval?

3. Why didnt you ask him, why he bought NN filling stations Nation wide, and why he approved an Oil block to himself?, Why did hr bought Atiku"s company and reawarded Ph service contract to it?

4. Why did you not ask him, Why he wants to pauperize Nigerians, with his anti poor policies?

5. Why does he wants to sack CBN staff and employ yorubas to replace them?

6. why didnt you ask him why he allowed the Naira a free fall from 400 to 1900 Naira?






just tell us money exchanged hands before the chat , i would have prefered Rufai instead of you.




I will only forgive you , if you tell me the questions were predetermined.
