The recent appointment of Chief Bayo Onanuga as the Senior Special Assistant to the President on information and strategy has sparked a range of reactions from various sectors. Supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) media team and social media advocates expressed their delight at the addition of this esteemed journalist and media giant to the government's media arsenal.
Chief Onanuga, a veteran journalist with an impressive track record, has certainly made his mark in the industry. As the co-founder of TheNews Magazine and the former CEO and editor-in-chief of PM News and TheNEWS magazine, he has established a reputation for excellence in journalism. His leadership as the managing director of the News Agency of Nigeria also speaks to his ability to navigate the media landscape.
Analysts believe that Chief Onanuga's appointment will play a crucial role in countering the barrage of misinformation and disinformation propagated by the opposition media team. Particularly in light of the recent controversy surrounding President Tinubu's Chicago State University certificate, there is a need for a steady hand to combat the spread of fake news.
With Chief Onanuga on board, it is expected that the government will be able to reset the narrative and challenge the opposition's propaganda machine. His vast experience and expertise in media strategy make him a valuable addition to the renewed hope for effective media communication and strategy. As we look ahead, his involvement is poised to change the narrative in favor of the government in the face of the ongoing campaign of calumny from the opposition.
