President Goodluck Jonathan's popularity has plummeted in the social media to the extent that he hardly score as much as 25% in any opinion pool when paired with Muhammadu Buhari of the APC.
But his new Social Media Aide, Obi Asika, said he is ready to change the game. How? Read below:
“With the creation of my office, which is a new office in government, and as we begin to set up, then if we have the opportunity, then of course we are going to setup Social Media guidelines for the Federal Government.
“For policy, for engagement, for education, because the first thing that has to happen is internal training to use the tools to do external engagements.
“You don’t win over people by forcing them to do anything, but you do have to let them know when they don’t understand.
“I have been working for Nigeria all my life without being paid for it and I have just taken a reduction in pay to go into the government because certainly, they can’t pay me what I make in the private sector.
“It’s a sacrifice, but it’s an honour and it’s a privilege and I’m privileged and I am happy to represent my country and my people.
“And to represent this sector at this level for the first time in this country in any African country. I have to commend the president, I wasn’t lobbying for anything, I wasn’t looking for anything.
“Nigeria is bigger than any individual; Nigeria is so important for the black race; It’s so important for Africa; we have to get it right and I think we can and the first thing we can do is to protect the brand Nigeria online, to promote it online.”
