Garba Shehu, Senior Special
Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari has come under
attack for criticizing his former boss, Atiku Abubakar.
Shehu worked under the Waziri of
Adamawa between 2003 and 2015.
The Presidential spokesperson had
on Thursday berated former President, Olusegun Obasanjo for endorsing Abubakar
for the 2019 Presidential election at a meeting in Ogun State.
Shehu who described the meeting
as a ‘well-rehearsed theatre’ was quoted as saying, “It is just eleven years
ago that the former President and Vice President in their ugly fight for power
accused each other of corruption. Nigerians are yet to forget all that.
“They will lose together.
Listening to the prepared statement of the former President after the meeting
showed the usual ego trip and “I know it all” character of Chief Obasanjo.”
In their reaction, Nigerians, who
took to their social media expressed divergent opinions.
Here are some comments gathered from Twitter.
@Gerund90, ”You were Atiku’s
media aide before he donated you to Buhari’s campaign. Now you want to deny
your boss. Don’t worry, no food for you after May 29th.”
@olajidevincent, ”And Nigerians
remembered that you supported the then VP and now candidate of @OfficialPDPNig.
You supported him with all you got and even denied all corruption charges
against him. Whatever you are doing today for @MBuhari, you did more for @atiku
then.”
@Heightinfinity, ”If Nigerians
can forget that your boss toppled democracy which he now enjoys through coup
d’etat in 80s, then nothing stops them from forgetting whatever happened in the
Obasanjo-Atiku regime.
@SKSolaKuti, ”Garba Shehu refused
to author any press release when Atiku emerged as PDP chairman. He has found
his voice when it concerns OBJ. Meanwhile, It is only in Nigeria that people
say something is a non-issue in a press release on the issue that is a
non-issue. Awon ode.”
@Veektohr1, ”Garba Shehu won’t be
working in the villa if Atiku didn’t lend Buhari his media team before the 2015
elections and allowed Shehu to continue working for the president but now he
wan dey insult am, na wa.”
@BaronvonGeoff1, ”Garba Shehu’s
filibustering is all about stomach infrastructure. If Fayose hires him tomorrow
he will tear Buhari to shreds.”
@JShoremekun, ”See how the event
turns, The same Garba Shehu was the Media aide to Atiku at the time Atiku and
OBJ fell out. He remained so until his current appointment by PMB. Now he is on
the other side dishing out jab at his former boss. The coming days promise to
be interesting!”’
@PapazLagos, ”Buhari should ask
Garba Shehu to honorably resign. How do you have someone who worked as Atiku’s
media aide all his life as your mouthpiece against his former boss?”
@rapuchukwu, ”Garba Shehu have
you forgotten that Atiku was your boss for more than a decade. Don’t forget
your roots.”
@EdreezGombawa, ”Will Garba Shehu
call his former boss corrupt despite all the articles he wrote way back trying
to clear his name? Will he resign and declare support to his former boss? Will
he continue as Buhari’s spokesperson and go on a rigorous campaign to help his
current boss win the election?”
@stopcorruption1, ”Politics
Today: People are being blackmailed, what Doyin Okupe and Reubén Abatti did in
their era is now being replicated by Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu, what
Obasanjo did for Buhari, same he has just done for Atiku. Our politics is the
same yesterday, today and forever more.”
@AyeeshaMusa1, ”And so my
prediction about @GarShehu played out, he finally spoke bad against his master.
This same Garba Shehu that adored, damn I love the Internet”
@iam_wilsons, ”It actually took
Garba Shehu 4 days to write those jargons. Hmm, this @atiku man must be
troubling these people in their coven.”
@MrTomide, ”How will Garba Shehu
cope with attacking Atiku in favour of Buhari and defending Buhari against
Atiku’s attacks now? May our loyalty never be tested.”
@YouthsForAtiku, ”Empowering
someone at times is bad, just take a look at Garba Shehu, Atiku made you
whatever you think you are today, but such is life, may those you uplift(if
any) treat you back this way in Jesus name.”
