Scary

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

How do you do politics or journalism when confronted by someone so deluded, so dishonest, who simply invents realities and says up is down, hot is cold? There has never been a public figure like Trump before. He just lied about what’s in front of our own eyes. Shamelessly.

Just seeing this, who killed the little girls in Iran and Gaza?

[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

Today at the UN, I spoke about a hard truth: True justice does not defend the humanity of children in one place and ignore it in another.

I am devastated for families in Iran whose daughters left for school and did not return home. For parents in Gaza who buried their children beneath the rubble of their classrooms. For Afghan girls living under the brutal Taliban regime for nearly five years.

The Taliban have built a system that removes women and girls from education, work and public life. This is gender apartheid, and it is time for the world to recognise it and act to end it.

Speeches do not protect girls. But law, accountability and political courage can.

Just last week he was confidently claiming the U.S. could guarantee safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Reality arrived quickly.

Remarkable

[Remarks @remarks]

🇺🇸 Jimmy Carter (1977-1981) was the last US President who did not drop a single bomb on a foreign country during his presidency.

[Umar Dalhatu @umar400]

Perfect. And if it isn’t Mojtaba who replaces him, Trump will later present his father’s killing as nothing more than “regime change.���

[tim anderson @timand2037]

Iran's Council of Experts has elected Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei as the Islamic Republic's new leader.

[Umar Dalhatu @umar400]

No @BwalaDaniel. I am not for any opposition. You really messed up and disgraced us all as a continent.

PRESS STATEMENT

In the last 24 hours, social media has exploded over my interview with Mehdi Hassan, albeit with varied opinions. Let me set the record straight.

When I signed on to the privileged job granted to me by Mr. President, I was well aware of its implications. Selling ice cream, looking fine, and seeking the praises of men were never part of it. Some of the fiercest critics of my interview can not even stand local TV anchors. But the task of promoting and defending the President and his administration is what I do with ease and joy. I am prepared to appear before any interviewer, anywhere in the world, any day and at any time, to defend this government and its policies.

I have never, and will never, subscribe to ducking or dodging interviews on matters that concern promoting and defending the administration I was appointed to serve. It is the least of what is required of me.

Head to Head contacted me requesting an interview, stating that they wanted to challenge our government on security, the economy, and corruption. Nowhere in our almost six months of communication did they mention that they were going to challenge my past. If that had been their plan, ethically and professionally, they were supposed to inform me so I could prepare my response. But that’s okay, ethically, that is on them, not on me.

I refused to swallow the pill of Mehdi’s “opposition research-style journalism,” and even today, if you carefully compare what he read as quotes from organisations and groups, you will see that many were inaccurate and some were outright fake news. But I will leave that for another day.

As for what I said about President Tinubu in the past, I am glad those were things I said when I was in the opposition saddle with such zeal. It is all politics. Half of Donald Trump’s cabinet is made up of people who once spoke against him, and quite a number of people in our own cabinet also spoke against President Tinubu in the past. Those things do not bother him if you care to know.

The majority of the naysayers are members of the opposition and their sympathisers. It does not bother me one bit. Their temporary excitement over the interview has not lasted and will not last, because it does not take away their obvious problem of lack of vision, mission in conducting and managing a political party; yet they seek to manage Nigeria. Clearly they have no path to victory and no alternative policies or program for the Nigerian people. And if they say they do, they can as well go to head to head and be interrogated on that; as the saying in Hausa goes “Ga fili Ga doki”

I conclude by thanking the many Nigerians and non-Nigerians who sent in their commendations over my brave defence of our government in an interview where the anchor would hardly let you answer a question unless it suited his narrative.

I still have admiration and respect for Mehdi Hassan as arguably the best debater on the planet. I look forward to part two of the Head to Head interview, and I am glad that by then questions about my past will no longer be news so that we can focus on our administration’s policies, programs and what we have achieved so far.

Stay tuned.

Amazing. Now Nigerian politicians dont even try to hide it. It has always being about their agenda rather than about party ideologies and principles. They have always belonged to the same party...looting party!
