Tinubu showed brilliance, composure during maiden media chat: Okupe
A former presidential spokesman, Doyin Okupe, commended President Bola Tinubu for demonstrating brilliance, composure and a good grasp of national issues during his maiden media chat in Lagos on Wednesday.
He was reacting to Mr Tinubu’s first presidential media chat on Monday night, marking a significant moment in his administration’s engagement with Nigerians.
The broadcast transmitted on the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) was a comprehensive dialogue on national issues.
“Kudos to the president’s media team on the first presidential media chat.
President Tinubu was bold and brilliant and showed brightness in expressivity.
“This, I dare say, he is a damn good president. And I should know; I worked for two past presidents,” Mr Okupe said.
Mr Tinubu spoke to select journalists at his Lagos residence on Monday, in his first such media appearance since he assumed office about 18 months ago.
Topics discussed included subsidy removal, tax bills, economic reforms, the size of governance and corruption.
