[The Presidential Blog] Have you seen how BBC has dragged the President?

Earlier today, the BBC published a post asking why our President Muhammadu Buhari is still in London? It’s not the title of the post as much as its content that hurts.

[The Presidential Blog] Yes, Minister, “Fake News” is worse than insurgency and insecurity

Working at the Presidency – as presently constituted must put so much pressure on anybody, especially those in charge of making things look like everything is running “like a fine-tuned engine”.
