EXPLAINER: Was Tinubu’s speech ‘leaked’? What to know about presidential broadcasts


BY Claire Mom


Early Sunday morning, President Bola Tinubu addressed Nigerians in a televised broadcast amid the #EndBadGovernance protest, which commenced on Thursday in many parts of the country.

Hours before his address, his speech surfaced on the internet in what many called a “leak”.

Public figures, including politicians, knocked the presidency for “fooling Nigerians”, while some expressed concerns about the safety of other classified documents.

But was the president’s speech top secret in the first place? Here’s what to know about presidential broadcasts.


HOW IS A PRESIDENTIAL BROADCAST DISSEMINATED?

Hours before a presidential broadcast, an embargoed copy is disseminated to select media houses, especially the print media.

These media houses are trusted with the speech to enable them to prepare timely and accurate reports as the president delivers his address.


WHO IS IT SHARED WITH?

The presidential speech is usually dispatched to the editors of the media houses ahead of the broadcast.


WHAT ARE THE STIPULATED CONDITIONS WHEN SHARED?

The speech will be under strict embargo until the president delivers his address. In most cases, the media houses are permitted to share the speeches at least 15 minutes into the broadcast.

Sharing the speech before the president’s broadcast flouts the agreement with the media and creates a lack of public trust in the presidency. It also affects the relationship between the media and the government.


WHY IS EARLY DISSEMINATION IMPORTANT?

To ensure the broadcast makes the front pages of mainstream newspapers, it is expected that the speeches are disseminated the night before, especially for broadcasts that are made early in the morning.

For print media houses, this gives them ample time for production.


IS IT GLOBAL BEST PRACTICE?

Disseminating presidential speeches before they are televised is not a practice peculiar to Nigeria; it is done globally.

The practice is not only restricted to presidencies. Large multilateral organisations such as the United Nations (UN) and other international non-governmental organisations also engage in this practice.

Nigerians should understand that the dissemination of presidential speeches is standard practice worldwide. Instead of pointing fingers, let’s focus on the content of Tinubu's address and how it aims to address the #EndBadGovernance protests. It’s time for constructive dialogue, not sensationalism!

What's even the purpose of the said speech when it didn't address any of the demands of the protesters? Tinubu is a joke.

The leak is non-issue. Other than to demonstrate that in the chain , there is an editor partisan enough to embarrass the presidency.

The speech is the issue.

clear demands being made by the people.

The speech would have done well to meet at least some of the demands mid-way and state why others will jeopardize the nation’s long term interest.

The speech is a missed opportunity. Appears the president do not appreciate his situation.

The heat is yet to come.

Emeka, even if elections are conducted today, Obi will still take his birthright 3rd position.

And for double resignations, the SP- Akpabio takes over.

So don't even sweat it.

Na wah! Leaked speech or not, the main thing be say Tinubu dey talk sense, unlike some people wey just dey talk for the sake of noise.

Make dem no deceive una, Peter Obi fit no sabi what presidential broadcast mean, but Tinubu dey show us say e know wetin e dey do.

E go better make we focus on progress rather than the drama of some lost souls.

What the OP posted is strange and doesn't sound straight. The point I want to maintain here is this, if all the nice policies and effort enumerated by President to address the challenges of Nigeria did not talk about Cutting Cost of Governance, then the Journey is still very far!

This is just a classic case of media mischief.

Tinubu is focused on governance while some people are busy chasing shadows. Let's stay focused on progress, not petty distractions. He's got the vision we need!
