Jonathan’s Ex-aide, Imagwe Attacks Buhari, Presidency Over Insecurity, Twitter


By Wilson Macaulay

Nigeria continues to experience increasing insecurity and violence through frequent attacks by terrorists, bandits and criminal herdsmen, despite repeated promises by President Buhari to crush insurgencies.


Comrade Jude Imagwe, former Special Adviser on Youths and Student Affairs to Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has Attack President Muhammadu Buhari and Minister of Information, Lai Muhammed over Current state of Insecurity and raise in the political and economic undercurrents that may have perpetuated the conflict while drawing attention to the need for greater coordination and stakeholder scrutiny.



 

Imagwe, a former NANS President in a statement forwarded to AfemaiReporters said Buhari has continued to demonstrate how he prefers to handle and manage the Nigerian state from a self-driving perspective and the high level of Sectionalism


The statement reads:


When Silence is truly better than reckless and hated Speech.


General Buhari has continued to demonstrate how he prefers to handle and manage the Nigerian state from a self-driving perspective and the high level of Sectionalism.



 

In the last six (6) months, Nigerians have been appealing to Mr. President to address her citizens on the country’s present state of a broken security situation. Things grow daily from bad to worst, and today, it is messy. Students kidnapped from schools in numbers like a trader going to the market to buy tubers, our farmers and travelers seized, mothers and sisters rapped at farm places, fathers killed, and security personnel ambush and murdered in the line of duty, national infrastructure destroyed daily.



 

The nations were expecting a father to speak to the citizen, and they were expecting words of unity. They were hoping for an expression of national reactivation. But most very painful, what the nation got was a reminder of the war, a reminder of the pains and sorrows of yesterday, and a call to crisis and an expression that shows a total lack of emotional intelligence or empathy.



I concur that Twitter played a double standard in this very issue. Otherwise, I see no reason why Twitter did not outrightly suspend General Buhari’s account but only deleted the tweet, which in itself is racial, full of hate, and capable of creating civil unrest.


If Twitter could suspend President Trumps Account, the statement from President Buhari is even worst, judging on the present state of the nation’s mood.

 

Secondly, the Minister of Information yesterday showed to Nigerians the kind of conversations been shared and briefed to the President. For a minister of Information and national orientation to address in responses to the President, deleted twitted messages in that very uneducated and uncivilized manner show the kind of Information always available to the President.


I am to remind President Buhari again that Nigerians elected him and will always demand accountability from him and not his appointees. He should also be aware that his first enemies are those around him, saddled with the responsibility to assist his administration Succeed.


Finally, I will want the honorable minister of Information to help Nigerians define what forms, hate Speech and if General Buhari is not guilty of hate speech.



 

May God continues to preserve Nigeria, and I appeal to all stakeholders to raise and save Nigeria from collapsing.


Comrade Jude Imagwe, MON

PTI Defends Its Reputation Against Misleading Sahara Media Report By Wilson Macaulay Effurun, Delta State July 12 2025 The Management of the prestigious Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), Effurun, has vehemently refuted a sensational and malicious report published by Sahara Reporters on July 10, 2025, which alleged that students of the foremost oil and gas institution study in “flooded classrooms and snake-infested hostels” despite a ₦39 billion budget. Describing the publication as “baseless, mischievous, and an orchestrated attempt to malign the integrity of the institution,” PTI Management said the report is not only factually inaccurate but also a deliberate attack on the hard-earned reputation and progress of the institution under its current leadership. In a strongly worded statement issued on Friday, the management declared: > “There are absolutely no flooded classrooms or snake-infested hostels within the Institute. These claims are complete fabrications devoid of any evidence or truth.” Management further challenged Sahara Reporters to produce any verifiable photographic or video proof to substantiate its claims. > “If such conditions exist as alleged, Sahara Reporters should have no difficulty presenting concrete evidence. Until then, their report remains a reckless misrepresentation aimed at misleading the public.” PTI clarified that all its lecture halls, laboratories, workshops, and hostels are structurally sound, properly ventilated, electrically powered, and routinely maintained. The Institute prides itself on maintaining a safe and conducive academic environment for learning, innovation, and professional development in the oil and gas sector. The management in clear terms described the publication as the work of “unscrupulous elements seeking to sow discord and cast aspersions on the steady infrastructural development PTI has recorded in recent years.” As a center of excellence in petroleum training and manpower development, PTI has, under its current administration, seen remarkable transformation in terms of physical infrastructure, digital modernization, and student welfare programs. The Institute continues to attract local and international recognition for its cutting-edge research and high-impact training curriculum. While assuring stakeholders, parents, and the general public of its unwavering commitment to the safety and welfare of its students, the management reiterated its call for responsible journalism and urged media practitioners to verify facts before rushing to publication. “We remain focused on our mandate and will not be distracted by smear campaigns designed to derail our progress.”
