PDP and PGEJ were rooted out of Aso Rock by a makeshift APC party because of the manner with which the party's hired agents were able to rebrand GMB and flaunt him on the social media.
while APC was everywhere in social media bamboozing Nigerians with heaven-on-earth propaganda messages and rubbishing PGEJ's landmark achievements, PGEJ'S media aids were sleeping and sluggishly coming out so lately and so clumsily with senseless attacks on GMB that did more harm to their campaign than good.
At a point in time during the final laps of the APC media onslaught on PGEJ. I became so pissed off that I had to google information about PGEJ achievements which I often posted online, and in most cases, I was shocked that many respondents, through their comments debunked my research work as lies. Can you image such absurdity? Do I need to google information about the activities of a President of my country with all his itineraries of media aids and information minister?
The PGEJ media team was a complete mess. They relied so much on AIT multimillion Naira useless campaign of calumny than having a relatively cheaper social media bloggers to assist in showcasing the numerous record breaking feats performed by PGEJ.
In contrast to the lacklustre performances of PGEJ media team, Senator Okowa, the governor elect media team was extra-ordinarily awesome.
The social media team anchored by Deltans Diaspora and backed by the daring, fearless Fejiro Oliver and Okunbor Ehi Alex were ferocious and aggressive in their projection of Senator Okowa's governorship aspiration that his opponents became restless with sleepless nights.
Sincerely, the social media fire works by Senator Okowa team was a nightmare to other PDP aspirants during the run up to the party's guber primary, their aggressiveness in some way led to the triumph of Senator Okowa at primary.
The enthusiasm and the joy of Senator Okowa's victory at the primary, spur them higher and they became domineering in all the social media platforms in the state.
The quality of their graphics and posts often send shock waves down the spines of opposition candidates and their supporters. This also was one of the reasons for the landslide victory recorded by Senator Okowa in the general election.
This give rise to this poster by Udeme Obichie, one of the DD members, he posted,
''1. How many percentage of our youths in the social media would be given appointment in senator Okowa's administration??'
2. Senator Okowa should create a social media board that can at least give employment to 20 youths for quality information dissemination as we dont want what happened to Jonathan to occur in his regime.The general public should be aware of all his development strides as a governor no matter how small it is.''
I wholeheartedly concur with Udeme Obichie's suggestion. In line with what he suggested, I am of the opinion that this fantastic social media team be re-enforced and sustained by Senator Okowa's govt, to enable them keep Deltans abreast with his govt's activities.
TV and Radio are no longer in vogue, information are now at the finger tips of many people. I cannot remember when I last sat in my sitting room to listen to news on Radio or TV because I am always the first to get most of the news they often air.
Department of Social Media. Govt House is needed to keep Deltans abreast with the daily operations of the government. This will make the government very closer to the people via daily flow of information from both side.
The media team must be maintained because it won'r be long before 2019 election come knocking at our doors.
Above all, most or rather some of the youth who had put in their very best in time and sleepless nights need to be accommodated by the govt.
An adage says that those who contribute to the cooking of puddings must also part-take in the eating.
So honestly, I support the creation of Social media department in Govt House where they could be assigned to cover the activities of govt ministries, parastatals and departments on daily basis.
