On May 2015, the Presidency appointed the former MD and Editor-in-Chief of Sun Newspaper, Mr. Femi Adesina as the presidential Special Adviser on Media and Publicity. He is joined in this position by Mallam Garba Shehu as the SENIOR Special adviser on the same Media and Publicity. However, from my series of observations, Femi (a Yoruba man) is always used by his paymasters to convey or defend extremely useless points from the Presidency, whereas Garba (an Hausa man) is used by the same Presidency to convey more sensible position of the government.. For instance, here are just few points to prove my claims. 1. Femi was used to defend that the presidency didn't accuse the US of supporting Boko Haram (Even when live reports prove otherwise) https://www.nairaland.com/2474693/didnt-indict-us-over-boko/2#36228784 2. Femi was used to defend why it was justifiable for the president to have embarked on an official US assignment with his son, Yusuf https://www.nairaland.com/2474777/dont-see-anything-wrong-buhari#36227947 3. Femi was used to convey that the presidency will only probe Jonathan's administration and NOT the "Far Past" https://www.nairaland.com/2472094/buharis-planned-probe-only-jonathan/13#36220039 4. Femi was used to convey the embarrassment of Patience Jonathan at a VIP lounge in PH airport https://www.nairaland.com/2473774/did-not-bar-anybody-vip#36213186 5. Femi was used to inform us that probing ONLY Jonathan was not a Witch-hunt https://www.nairaland.com/2473374/presidency-probing-jonathans-govt-not#36208762 6. He was used to tell us that Buhari and Obama never discussed anything on Same-Sex Marriage (Even when we know the truth) https://www.nairaland.com/2472485/obama-buhari-never-discussed-same-sex#36193911 7. Femi was used to tell us that Buhari borrowed $2.1 Billion from World Bank to rebuild North East. Borrow such an amount to rebuild a current war zone when there is no end in sight? https://www.nairaland.com/2469025/buhari-borrows-2.1-billion-dollars/3#36146911 8. He was the same prophet of doom for the dumping of the confab reports https://www.nairaland.com/2469012/president-dumps-national-conference-report#36142544 9. He was used to defend what the president said to the Nigerian community in South Africa, that "At 72, there is a limit to what I can do" http://www.heynaija.com/presidency-defends-buharis-age-limit-statement-says-like-old-wine-will-get-better/ 10. He was used to tell us that the planned boko haram invasion of VP's residence was a typo error meant for VIPs (Even when the circulated paper stated Vice President...it was never abbreviated...) The list is endless. I didn't open this thread to crucify him (I am a Yoruba person). My worry is that they keep using him to propagate falsehood while that Mallam (Garba) is used for something more sensible. These Northern elements have only succeeded in using him as a Prophet of Doom on the sensibilities of Nigerians. My advice is that from this moment onward, let every Nairalander watch out the news from the presidency. If it is something positive, Garba's name will be there. But if it's a bad news like the ones enumerated above and more , Femi's name must be mentioned. God Bless us All... Cc: Seun, my tribesman.  3 Likes

Good and bad news is subjective, it depends on who is listening. What most wailers describe as bad news, is usually good news to progressives. Going by that logic, Femi Adesina gives me all the good news, while Garba's news is bad news to me. 2 Likes |

WhatDoYouMean: Both Femi and Garba are what you will call govt spokesperson. They are hired to put out fires and do damage control to polish govt's image. The technical term for it is Public Relations. Some of the skillsets for the job include 1. Positive communication - ability to listen narrowly but respond broadly 2. Mediation - the need to reconcile differences with tact 3. Conflict management - to see govt policy as a priority and advocate the cause first, and if need be do a follow up to address emotions. If what you attributed to Femi are true credits then if he plays his card well he has a future as a good lobbyist or a PR consultant. High Five to him! 1 Like |

The most critical part of being a spokesperson is timeliness. So far Femi is doing a good job of swiftly responding to issues which makes the job of the wailing wailers difficult. I'm impress with the way he neutralise their propaganda in a concise and sensible statement. 2 Likes |
