Femi Adesina, the spokesperson of President Muhammadu Buhari, today congratulated Nigerians with Christmas via his Twitter account. After some moments after Adesina tweeted he's innocent message with a garnish of humor. Negative minded individuals sparked fury and negative reactions
amongst many of his supporters. The criticism that followed was so intense that Mr. Adesina trended on Twitter for most of the day. See some reactions below:
However, Doyin Okupe, the senior special assistant on public affairs
to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, of who was initially thought to
be deeply critical of Adesina and the incumbent government, rose in
fierce defence of the presidential adviser. Okupe via a post on his Facebook page stated that the comment was “totally harmless” and that the condemnation that trailed it was unnecessary.
He writes: “I am not an apologist of this administration neither am I a supporter.
The post by femi adesina this morning is totally harmless and does not deserve the vitriolic attack or condemnation that it seems to be getting.
“I have not spoken to him but I know he included ‘including the wailing wailers’ just as a form of anectedote that is not unusual with Writers.
“Many people on the social media network are too intemperate and over sensitive.
They look out for faults and loopholes to bring down people in public offices. They also set up unrealistic and sometimes practically impossible moral grounds which they themselves cannot keep for public officers.“I know for a fact that people like me are supposed to be the ‘wailing wailers’ and we are not angry neither do we feel insulted by this otherwise humorous Xmas greetings.
“On behalf of the wailers we salute Femi and thank him for this inconclusive Xmas felicitation.”
