Bestselling author and former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan has differed with the Senior special assistant to president Muhammadu Buhari on media over the leadership abilities of Mr. President.
Shehu had in a release yesterday, condemned those criticising the President for not making it a concern in his national broadcast to address the issue of restructuring. Many critics had even accused the president of not being aware of the write-up.
But Shehu, in the release, had said that some issues are resolved through “established processes, not by abuses, insults or irresponsible statements”.
Shehu had also said that “Every memo, statement, speech, is subject to his intense scrutiny, right down to the placement of commas and full stops.”
He had also said that, “Changes don’t happen on a whim in a democracy. The ‘immediate effect’ military mentality cannot work under a democratic order,” he said.
“Since the president has sworn to defend the constitution, he will remain faithful to that oath by working with the legislature in taking major decisions on the future of Nigeria’s federal system.
“While Nigerians are free to express themselves, they should exercise such liberty with restraint and a sense of responsibility”.
He said calling the president an enemy of Nigeria “is in extreme bad taste.”
“The country’s parliament is ready and willing to discuss all issues but the pundits are more interested in television and newspaper headlines,” he said.
“Threats don’t work in a democracy. Democracy requires planning and proper process; issues are resolved through established processes, not by abuses, insults or irresponsible statements”.
However, Omokri disagreed with him on the aspect of the president scrutinising “every memo, statement, speech,…right down to the placement of commas and full stops.”
Omokri said, “Every memo, statement, speech, is subject to his intense scrutiny, right down to the placement of commas and full stops”-Garba Shehu in his press statement on President Muhammadu Buhari released yesterday.
“Look at the spelling of the name of a man who Garba Shehu claims scrutinizes every document “right down to the placement of commas and full stops.” If you can’t spot a misspelling of your own name, how can you stop the mismanagement of your own Presidency?
