If you are looking for the worst Presidential Social Media handlers in the history of Nigeria, I am sure it would be these current crops managing President Muhammadu Buhari’s social media space. At every point in time, they always look for seemingly unimportant things about the President that they want Nigerians to get excited about. I wonder if they are yet to come to realize that there is little or nothing to be excited about their principal anymore, except if he decides not to contest in the 2019 general elections, even if the constitution allows him to do so.

Pre 2015, majority of us thought he was going to do wonders, at least, based on the fact that his antecedents are great, especially in the area of not being corrupt, and the promise to fight corruption to a standstill, and then as a retired Military general, insecurity would be a thing of the past. But we were wrong! Insecurity under Muhammadu Buhari’s administration has witnessed a new turn, with Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram still on the rampage.
Although a lot has been done lately to stem the tides of the incessant killings that Nigerians witnessed some months back, especially in the middle belt of the country, but Boko Haram activities still, has not been totally nipped in the bud.
What about the President’s health challenge that he regularly goes abroad to keep under control, many Nigerians are doubting whether the President’s present state of health would allow him focus on the issue of governance post 2019, and so, the matter of him trekking for 800metres from his hometown’s mosque to his residence after observing the prayer for Eid Kabir on Wednesday in Katsina State. The question then is: If president Muhammadu Buhari is not sick, why should Nigerians rejoice that he trekked a distance of 800metres without falling? Why should it be yardstick for his re-election?
I mean, things like this are not worth celebrating if nothing is wrong with his health in the first place. There are people who cover such distances almost on daily basis and even more who don’t see anything in it to boast about or glory in. The president’s media aides should step up their games by telling us what Muhammadu Buhari has done in the health sector for the past three years since he assumed office, the true state of the economy under him, what he is doing to reduce the inequality and poverty gap that he’s created since he came on board in 2015.
If they can muster enough strength to tell us these things, let them come out with them and stop celebrating Buhari’s 800metres trek. Let them organize a presidential media chat, where Buhari wouldn’t be given a prepared questions and answers. Enough of these trekking nonsense.
