Adesina And Garba Will Have Serious Challenges Defending Buhari, Says Tinubu by Nobody: 3:38pm On Aug 22, 2015
Bola Tinubu, former governor of Lagos state, believes
that Femi Adesina, special adviser to the president on
media and publicity and Garba Shehu, senior special
assistant to the president on the same portfolio, will “have
real challenges” in the discharge of their duties, but he
wants editors of media houses to help them make their jobs
easier.

Tinubu was speaking in Abuja at a reception organised by
the Nigeria Guild of Editors (NGE) for its two members
appointed in June as president’s media aides. He
was represented by Adams Oshiomhole, governor of Edo
state.

“I can already see that Femi and Garba are going to have
real challenges but the men and women in this hall have all
what it takes to help you to make the job less difficult,” he
said.

Tinubu urged editors to keep fighting corruption and other
vices undermining the growth and development of the
country.

“For me, the media are the best fighters. If you don’t fight,
the society will not grow. Today, there are debates about
poor governance. Nothing is going to change if we don’t
fight.

“It is important to fight the war until we get the country of
our dream; for me, let us fight a cause that is necessary in
order to deliver prosperity to our people.”
He implored editors to keep fighting until the war against
corruption is won and Nigeria is free from insurgency, while
an economy that is not totally dependent on oil is created.

Tinubu expressed happiness over the president’s political
will to fight war against corruption in the country, and
he congratulated the NGE for having two members of its
own in the president’s cabinet.

“I believe it is a reflection of the role of the media in the
democracy. No matter what anyone will say, the Nigerian
media remain a powerful pillar and force in the struggle for
democracy,” he said.

“In history, you are on record as having been convicted for
allegedly plotting a coup only with the power of your pen
without a gun and you paid your prize. People went to
prisons because you wrote pro-democracy stories that you
thought that would prevent military government,.

“Nobody understands the benefit of freedom more than the
media because when the society is free, the media can
operate. If we are celebrating democracy today, we are
celebrating what Nigerian media has helped to build over
the years.”

In his address of welcome,Garba Muhammad, acting
president of NGE, described the president’s media aides as
exceptional professionals who had never engaged in fighting
their colleagues in the course of exercising professionalism.

Alhaji Ismail Issa-Funtua, publisher of the defunct Democrat
Newspapers, urged NGE to come up with ideas that would
improve the capacity of students produced by the Nigerian
Institute of Journalism in Lagos.

Adesina, who thanked the guild for the grand reception,
urged the media to be fair in its reportage of the president’s
activities.

Present at the occasion were Mr Ima Niboro, managing
director of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) and Shola
Omale, director-general of Nigerian Television Authority
(NTA).

Strange, I wasn't under the impression that they could talk their way out from a 2yr old boy's accusations.

Its Blatantly obvious a man in the 20's-35's is best suited for this. Any position connected to Governance you need a potbelly before you will be considered then connections.

Can they even use Twitter properly? undecided

I think Tinubu is right dis time...its a big challenge trying to defend the actions of a dullard..viz;


Trying to cover up the truth when everyone knows its a lie.

Defending a man who would give an order today and forget he ever gave such order.

Blaming ur predecessor for everything u promised to correct. Cos u just realised the task is impossible.

Having to take orders from Bubu, anoda one from OBJ and a counter one from Tinubu.

Adesina and Garba are really sweating behind the cameras!

Frodobee :

In another news, Nigerians are loosing their jobs a whooping 69%(ie 31% remaining) Incase they don't know, the jobs they are loosing like Chelsea to ManCity, are same jobs created by my lovely, intelligent ex-finance minister NOI, God bless her wherever she is today.

Back to the post, Thievenubu should first distance himself from Buharia to make the jobs of his sycophants easy, and lastly he should employ more masturbaters(I mean ones that are as intelligent as Barcanista) especially here on NL for effective propaganda and praise-singing

Propaganda is a double headed snake, it can strike the one that wields it.


Buhari benefited from Awolowo's sw press mafia against Shagari which he used to justify committing treason by toppling a civilian govt.


Buhari knowing how the press was instrumental to his rise also knew Awolowo won't hesitate to use it against his regime.

This is why Buhari issued decree 4.

Fast forward today they are begging for press cooperation in furthering their lies in order to maintain power.


Well this is 2015 and Buhari can not issue another decree and they dare not touch social media which has become more powerful than their useless press.

That is why we have to protect this 5th and final estate from them.

The politicians own the media outlets, we must noy let their touts like egift, Omenka and co pollute this final refuge of truth with their lies again.

This is the 3rd governor to represent that drug dealer.

Aregberascal and Fashola were representing Tinubu up and down now oshiomole has decided to follow suit.

The saying believe nothing you read on newspapers is more fitting in today's Nigeria where virtually all the print media are owned by crooked koworpt politicians like Tinubu.

Between Police and Journalists I don't know which is more koworpt but I definitely know the biggest hypocrites in the land are the jaundiced journalist who write what the brown envelope giver dictates.

Timubu is Corrupt Tinubu is Corrupt... So they say.. If I don't join them, they will call me clueless.. That's the ordinary Nigerian talking.

Tinubu spent the most part of his tenure as governor fighting OBJ, he wasn't so much with Yardua, had a brief rosy relationship with GEJ and spent a longer period of GEJ's administration fighting GEJ. When exactly did he steal all this huge sums he is being accused of and why won't the ruling party at the center he was always quarelling with never got him to face corruption charges?

The ruling party is not responsible for bringing any looter to justice but the police and judiciary.

This country should be divided into two parts. APC country and PDP country. Let the opposition, tanoids and wailers have their chance to bring back Jonathan as their commander in chief. It's very obvious that the wounds of jonathan's loss just won't heal!

Well 80% of criminal cases are handled by the state where the offence was committed. Federal offences are not much,even if Abuja orders your trial, the State through its AG can conveniently enter a nolle prosequie thereby terminating the trial. Obj didn't bamboozle Tinubu when both of them were in power cuz Tinubu had immunity,so you can't prosecute him until he leaves office. Now subsequent governments in Lagos has been Tinubu's protege so they can't order his probe or trial. Buhari is making noise today about probe and trial cuz it was an inter-party handover of power,had it been intra-party handover like its obtainable in most APC states, you won't hear any "mouth action" from Buhari or the numerical oral diarrhia currently afflicting Oshiomhole

that's why you and I must thank God that opposition parties are now winning elections in our country. If every government only probed and prosecuted thieves in the opposition, the country will be better. For your children too.
