A Presidential Disgrace

Just like his principal, bungling  Femi Adesina show no sign of awareness or full grasp of the economic situation in the country. His body language lacked empathy, cold as ice, zero personality and basic at best in his delivery and analysis of issues, showing no spark or any form of enthusiasm. Just like his boss, Femi looked bored and out of sorts...a huge dissapointment for a presidential spokesperson.

Then i ask myself, how on earth is an officer of this magnitude so bland? why so ordinary, with the bread and butter English, no details, no facts nor figures, only a "tomorrow will be better" rhetoric...disgraceful.

The job of a presidential spokesman is to provide information on behalf of the president. To calm people's nerves and address salient issues, get to the nitty gritty and put in some image work on behalf of the president. Femi Adesina did the exact opposite...he did a Doyin Okupe, he managed to infuriate Nigerians more on this matter of fuel scarcity and the horrendous queue.

"If some people are crying that they are in darkness, they should go and hold those who vandalised installations" really Femi? that is how a presidential spokesman talks on air? after your boss was given a mandate to fix things, now you complain that Nigerians want magic...as if your boss didnt promise magic or can we at least have a miracle considering our vice president is a pastor, but my goodness can you stop insulting the emotions of Nigerians with your collective incompetence.

I reckon when president Buhari chose Femi who was a newspaper columnist and Editor-in-Chief of The Sun Newspaper and president of the Nigerian Guild of Editors, his plan was to use Femi to control his peers, afterall no article will appear in any newspaper without the say so of the Editor in Chief, so with Femi as the captain of all newspaper editors, president Buhari must have thought he made a tactical appointment...well NO.

It's noteworthy to mention that Mr Adesina has done some great work in areas of making sure that a lot of the ineptitude of this administration is under reported, so a lot of Nigerians are not opportuned to really feel the impact of the helplessness of this administration to fulfill all the promises it made prior to the election.

Mr Adesina should take this as a wake up call and next time you come on air to talk about National issues, please do some homework...do your job and come on air with answers or intelligent discussions. Do not add insult to the injuries of Nigerians Mr Spokesman.

By the way, where is that other one Bashir Ahmad? what is his Job? and Tolu Ogunlesi needs to crack on, cos this task is going to be ardous. It's not about defending the president, it's about being proactive and offering as much information on these multiple platforms as possible and being ready to engage in a robust debate, because Nigerians will not settle for mediocrity...not after you made such boisterous promises.
