Keipee

The scruffy guy in the interior huffed and puffed for 4 years but could not deliver a seamless process to acquire a simple booklet. It took a man old enough to be his son to show it's not rocket science. Yet grandpa wants to rescue the interior. This delusion shall be televised.

Segun, first let me say that not every criticism is an indictment. Sometimes they are just feedback for you to take back, review and adapt. The fact that you had to go back to a post done 6 months ago only goes to affirm what I am saying. Allow me to first clear up something. My post was specifically about the Tax Reform Bills submitted to NASS on the 3rd of Oct 2024. Since then, I can count on one hand, the number of times a post related to that subject was posted on your X handle or @PBATMediaCentre. Do you want me to compare that to the number of "Happy Birthday" post on your handle during the same period or the number of Spaces conversations hosted to discuss this very issue? If you claim that there are conversations going on daily on these Tax Bills, I am struggling to find evidence to match your claims. Let me ask you a question, aside from the two appropriation bills and one supplementary budget bill, how many executive bills has President Tinubu sent to NASS? The answer? Not much. Executive bills are serious and they are monumental. One is important enough, but 4 Bills (at the same time) that will in essence repeal 11 existing tax laws and amend 13 other laws is of such significance that it should command the full attention of the executive arm of the government. While Taiwo Oyedele's job is to explain the technicalities of these bills, it is the job of the media arm of the Executive to explain how these bills links to the Renewed Hope Agenda, how it will ultimately benefit Nigerians and the Economy and how the rumours floating around is just misinformation. This strategic communication is not for Taiwo Oyedele, it is for the President and his media team to make the argument directly to Nigerians if possible, every day of the week using as many channels as possible. In your post below, I don't know if it was a slip but the sentiment expressed speaks volumes. You said "...here is proof that we are helping Prof Taiwo in breaking down policies". I beg to differ my brother. You should not be "helping" Taiwo Oyedele or anyone for that matter to break down a policy emanating from the Presidency, you should be activing owning, promoting, educating and marketing the Policies of the Presidency. I might be wrong, but the implication of your comments and the body language of some of your colleagues, reveals a perception that these Tax Reform Bill(s) is Taiwo Oyedele's "problem" and so it is his to fix. No it is not. It is an Executive Bill and all arms of the Executive must be galvanised and coordinated to support it. Again, let me repeat, this is not an indictment against you as a person or the work you do. If I were to rank in my assessment the media aides that have been most engaging especially on SM,I would rank you as top. But this is more than just doing post on X or random TV/Radio appearances. This is about crafting and deploying an effective communication strategy that projects teamwork and cohesion.
