Henceforth, anyone who describes President Goodluck Jonathan with names such as “idiot” and “drunkard” will not be spared, the Presidency has warned. The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, said his office would take it as a responsibility to correct the trend.

Okupe threatened to “forcefully train” those whose parents failed to take out time to train while growing up with a view to correcting the alleged decay. The presidential aide insisted that being a social critic does not give those always lampooning Jonathan the leeway to abuse and malign the President’s character.

“Being a critic is no licence to insult and abuse government officials; most especially the President of the nation. Criticism is different.

“But when you say the President is an idiot, a drunkard and so forth, you no longer deserve any respect. Yorubas say children that are not trained at home must be forcefully trained by outsiders. It is our cultural obligation.

“President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is an anointed leader, an active, focused performer favoured by God and loved by the genuine silent Nigerian majority,” Okupe argued on Twitter.

He said: “Yorubas say children that are not trained at home must be forcefully trained by outsiders. It is our cultural obligation. President Jonathan is an anointed leader, an active, focused performer favored by God and loved by the genuine silent Nigerian majority. I have never hustled for bread all my life. I was born into wealth and I have always lived in comfort.

I also have 9 children. Many of them are better educated and cultured and are moving on successfully in life."

However, Lagos based online commentator, Olaniyan Ismail, said: “Okupe is a proselytize who frequently makes noise to cover up the failure of the government he is serving. He has since lost my respect.”

Another one, Rama Yakubu, accused Okupe of representing mediocrity. He said: “I reject growing up to be like Okupe. I’ll be a disgrace to my generation if I do that,” Yakubu said.
