STEPHENBOI:
President Muhammadu Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, has expressed his displeasure with the negative influence that social media has on governance in the country.

While speaking during an interview on Sunday, April 1, 2018, the president’s spokesperson lamented that Nigerians fail to give President Buhari enough commendation for his good job because social media tends to view everything negatively.

Shehu further condemned reports that the president is shielding killer herdsmen from the law, arguing that it’ll take more than the president to achieve such a feat.

He said, “I hope you also realise that the social media has brought a lot of good things to the world and it has also brought a lot of problems not only in Nigeria but everywhere in the world.

“Nations of the world are talking about regulations and control, this is happening in Germany in the United Kingdom even the United States you see that a lot these technology companies are being fined for infringements that they cause.

“The thing is that there is a tendency to see things from a negative point of view when your point of view is shaped and colored by the social media.

“It’s always been heard that the default position of the social media itself is to be negative, so people have turned out to ignore grand reality and project images that are very negative.

“Otherwise I wonder, this is an administration that has done so extremely well and to a president who has sworn to an oath to defend the constitution and protect every life and property, it is very unfair and uncharitable to say that he will shield anybody, and in any case, the president controls only one layer of authority, what are the governors doing, is the social media also saying that the governors are protecting the herdsmen from the law, are they saying the local government are also protecting them?

“You see it has to take everyone at various levels of authority to shield somebody from the law in those circumstances, and the president himself, his passion is for the country, this is a president whose passion is not even for the office, even when everyone is asking him to go for a second term he is keeping quiet because his focus remains the nation and the problem of the country.”

The taste of the pudding is in the eating. This first four years when he has re-election at stake is already too bad. Imagine the madness and unmitigated suffering there will be if he has another 4yrs with nothing at stake.

God forbid! It's not cast in stone that he must be president for 8yrs.

legitimatefrank1:
you don't have to call us idiots...do you

MADBUTTERFLY:


U must not result to insults all the time. just make ur comments without cursing anyone

buhariguy:
are you ipob?
You better be an Igbo, than to be an ipob.

So I can never insult anybody or group.

I prefer to spell ipob in full.
So the full meaning of ipob, which is
I stand for idiotic
P stand for pigs
O stand for of
B stand for Biafra
That is the full meaning ipob.

Please seun and mynd44 should take note.

buhariguy:
why not wait and see if it will be disastrous as you said.
Most of the contract already signed like railway from Lagos to kano, from Benin and calabar to Enugu will be completed in next 3yrs,
Power plant that will generate 20,000 megawatts will also be next 3yrs.
Etc.
