The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu has come under fire for discharging his ‘duties’ as one of the spokespersons of President Muhammadu Buhari.
From outright insults to doubts over the authenticity of his utterances or comments to accusations of over reaching his boundaries, the former President of the Nigeria Guild of Editors (NGE) continues to receive darts almost on a daily basis.
The attacks against Shehu may not be without reasons, as the presidential spokesman, in the reckoning of Nigerians, including prominent ones, may have allegedly gone beyond his original brief as a spokesman or a carrier of information for the President.
