“I have resumed on Thursday as the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs. My duty is to engage the public, media and civil societies on matters and issues that are current and affect the Presidency.
"I will also provide avenue for proper dissemination of information,” Okupe said.
However, checks by Naijapals.com in Abuja indicated that top power brokers in the Presidency have serious reservations with the way Dr. Reuben Abati has been handling the president's public relations. They think Abati is more interested in "his good name" than tackling the President's opponents.
In recent times, ACN and CPC chieftains have been having a field day, bashing President Jonathan and his wife in the media without any "commensurate response", hence the decision to "sideline Abati and confine him to chatting with journalist until the president decides how to ease him out," a very credible source in the seat of power told .
It would be recalled that the likes of Femi Fani-Kayode and Doyin Okupe were among the few men who helped shaped public perception of the Olusegun Obasanjo administration.
