Mr.Doyin Okupe a former Presidential spokesperson to Former President Goodluck Jonathan stood up today in defence for Mr.Femi Adesina who is currently the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Nigerian President Gen Buhari, over his ‘Wailing Wailers’ Christmas day Message on Twitter.
Doyin spoke out stating clearly that he is not a supporter of this government but that he saw nothing wrong on the tweet by Mr.Femi Adesina who was criticized by his followers on twitter over his tweet.Read his support statement below.
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 Demi 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.
