Congrats to both guys, a case of round peg in round hole. Femi is a fantastic media guru right from his days at the defunct Concord Newspaper. Femi is also a pastor in Foursquare Gospel Church. The Senior Special Adviser is equal to a Minister in the federal cabinet, while the assistant is not. Femi takes the post of Reuben, while Alhaji Garba Shehu takes that of Doyin Okupe. I wish them well in this new assignment. |

kenonze:Your two "definitions" are Public Affairs and not Media and publicity (Okupe role). Media and Publicity Special Adviser relates with the Media, arranges for Press Conferences, prepare his boss and he's the go between the boss and the Media. This was Abati's role! Media and Publicity Senior Special Assistant is lower in rÀnk to to Special Adviser but does similar role. To avoid duplication and conflict of interest, SSAs are usually givÉn Public Affairs role (Okupe role) or Ñew Media (Omokri's role). What Buhari just did is to lump two people into a single portfolio(just like Minister and Minister of state). 4 Likes |

barcanista: Ur explanations made it more confusing. Mind u I was never interested in GEJ Lead administration, I dont even know who is Abatti nor Okupe but all I could remember are their incompetences thus making GEJ regime what it was. If u can explain better without using their names, it will be better Thanks |

kenonze:Your explanation even made a case for friction. Its still the same thing. An adviser is also an assistant, same way an assistant also advises. Femi Adesina can advise buhari on how to put his thoughts to the public and after the refining, he can relay to the public, not so? Still no case for two advisers and assistants. Waste just like Jonathan did. Buhari just fell my hand |

kenonze:Media and Publicity officer relates with the Media, arranges for Press Conferences, prepare his boss and he's the go between the boss and the Media. This was Abati's role! Buhari just appointed TWO people to that office. The Special Adviser(SA) is in the rank of a cabinet member, and even sit at the weekly cabinet. Though the Senior Special Assistant(SSA) reports to the boss, the SA is superior in rank. What Buhari just did is to lump two people to perform same job function though in different capacity, which is a waste of resources. Except he decide to give one the role of "Public Affairs". We are watching... |

Many imbeciles trolls on this thread! I can't believe many of you don't know the meaning of special adviser and senior assistant on media... Chai! Ok, let's go... Special adviser consult the principal, heard him/her out and give and advises on how to channel an information to the populace, be ye confidential or not while he also consult with a senior assistant on media for a proper deliberation on such information before being made public. Inshort special adviser is a middle man. Now that I've educate you, please educate other mumu like you. Remember that information is an important agent in any administration so having two persons managing that role is never too much. |

davodyguy: I felt disappointed at first until I gave it further thoughts. The role of special adviser (Femi Adesina) is more tactical. He advises the President on what to do, what to say and how to tackle issues relating to the public. Say for example, Some Alien from Krypton invade Nigeria... Special Adviser will discuss with the President on how to relay the event to the public. Should they keep mute about it? Should they release a press statement? Should they blame the invasion on PDP or America or Ghana? Should they claim that the invasion is a test of some military hardware the government just acquired. How will they come to the conclusion of what to say or do? The special adviser will put the mood of the country, the tolerance level at that time and the public's dispensation of the administration into perspective and advises the president as appropriate. Senior Special Assistant will act as any assistant. You know what assistants do na? They take note, prepare speeches, throw press conference, release press statements etc. It's more like an advanced secretary job. Lemme use the Krytonite Invasion as scenario. So the Alien looking thing landed in Asokoro, Abuja. The social media is set on fire. Rumours are spreading like fire. Some are panicky. Some pastors are saying it is the end of the world. PDP are throwing tantrums that Buhari is unconcerned. The special adviser might tell Buhari to keep mute and let people talk some more? But why? Buhari screamed? Remember the missing 20 billion naira people are accusing you of stealing yesterday? See, no one is talking about it again. Everyone is now focused on this Alien Invasion. Also, remember that tax hike you want to pass? This might be the best time. The attention is now on this Alien thingy. After three days or so of that Alien invasion, the Special Adviser will tell Buhari to leak to the press that the Alien Invasion is actually testing new equipment. But that can't come from Aso rock officially. So, the Senior Special Assistant will leak the story to Punch claiming anonymous source. After a week, the senior special assistant will call a press conference where Buhari, from advise from the Special adviser, will deny any military involvement and claimed the Alien Invasion is actually Ghana's fault and investigations are underway. You see the difference now? 5 Likes 1 Share |

I just hope he is still mindful of cutting waste. We need to do away with duplications and work with a leaned government. Enough of multiple and multilevel advisers considering the fact that we are still going to have a minister of communication who will also want to appoint his advisers, all at the expense of the government. The president must set a good example in this direction. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Firefire: I have had the privilege of working with a media team of a particular state governor. The role of media and publicity of a governor /president is vast and complex, and encompasses media relations, strategic PR, online reputation mgt, image mgt, speech writing etc. It requires several professionals with varied skill set. Femi is simply the head while Garba will deputise for him. PMB needs this type of team to continually neutralise destructive critics like you and several other saTANoids (online and offline), suffering from election defeat syndrome 2 Likes |

doctokwus: Do you know if these appointees already declared their assets publicly as Brainless Buhari freely promised during the campaign that this will be a pre-condition for all his appointees. Surely a man of 'integrity' will have no qualms fulfilling such an easy promise, not so But Buhari, in the document titled, ‘I pledge to Nigeria’ had also said that all his political appointees would only earn salaries and allowances as prescribed by the Revenue and Mobilisation and Fiscal Allocation Commission. |

LETTER TO MR. PRESIDENT
His excellency, the President of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu
Buhari (GCON). As a matter fact, you being
addressed with this noble title again is indeed a
rare opportunity and is a thing that calls for a
personal reflection over your past years. This
should remind you of your past efforts followed
by failures and in fact it is capable of making
you ponder over the circumstance that led to
your victory in this very general election. It
bothers my mind, each time I remember that
Nigerians who had earlier refused to give you
their support in the previous three general
elections, could turned out in such a significant
numbers to vote you in as their newly elected
president after twelve years of continual trial
and failure. CONTINUE» http:///1Kt6ZHf |
