Personal Assistant on Social Media to President Muhammadu Buhari, Lauretta Onochie, has come under attack by Nigerians for calling Senate Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe a 'Buffoon'.
Onochie had in a tweet on Wednesday called Senator Abaribe 'buffoon' for asking Nigerians to stone President Muhammadu Buhari over insecurity in the country.
However, this did not go down well with Nigerians as many condemned her attitude towards the Senator.
A twitter user, Segun Amure
@AmureEmman who reacted to the Presidential aide tweet, cautioned her to be mindful of her words against the Senator. But instead of retracting her statement, Onochie rather made the situation worse by calling the Senator 'a moron'.
Segun said, "Please, kindly apologize to Senator Abaribe for calling him BUFFON. Such pronouncement is HATE SPEECH.
Below are some reactions we gathered from our Facebook page:
Idris Abubakar M >> Madness comes in different levels, Onochie should be given medication because she lacks sense of reasoning, her expectation of appointment will never materialize, better come back to your senses, unless it is the appointment of the other room you are looking for.
Gesture Emmanuel >> Is this woman called laura,is she truly in her right senses? Even though you are paid to defend this unscrupulous government of buhari,there are things you should remain quiet about rather than ridicule your name and that of your family. The security of this nation is in a very bad shape,if you have nothing to counter the senator on his submission in the senate house,is better you keep quiet than showing off your stupidity when it comes governance of this nation. What is insult got to do with the senator submission huh?. He stated the fact about the current happenings in the nation today,anybody that's in a denial about the current security situation in the country today;that person clearly don't mean well for this nation of ours. Look at how things are deteriorating in this nation,if you talk people like laura that are only loyal to their stomach and the sentiment they harbor in their hearts,will come and be saying all sort of rubbish trying to defend the indefensible.
Edima Martins >> Onochie madness equal to the poor policies of this current Government.
May be she thought and believe that Leadership is what we are seeing under PMB and also hope attacking the senator will make way for her appointment but for me, she is senseless human being.
Alexander Nnamchi Chiebo >> Let her be reminded that she can't remain in power forever n immunity will not be dere to cover her once she steps down..
Livinus Akandu >> Truth is very bitter in Nigeria. Abaribe is only true Nigeria senator that speaks hard truth to the sitting Government.
Anayo Chukwu >> If it's news about Herdsmen attacks, or Boko Haram beheading Citizens, You people will not release a Statement. Someone asked Buhari to resign because he has failed to keep this Country safe, You are here ranting and talking about Nnamdi Kanu.
In a sane country no body needs to remind failed president to resign because he knows he has failed the nation. We are millions of nigerians is saying Buhari should resign and appologise to the nation for his leadersship failure.
Buhari has not only FAILED but is keeping his kinsmen as security chiefs for another reason we don’t know about yet! Ndi mgbu
Ella Atim >> It's somehow very disheartening and irritating how people just twist things to express their evil intentions. If you dont know the truth of a matter, just keep quiet. Who say you must reply or comment. This so called woman calling the minority leaders name, did you hear the senator categorically say Nigerians should atone the president? Because if you are educated and understand English, what the senator said was straight, simple and factual. The senator began his contribution yesterday by quoting the president for saying he is not aware of the k*llings still going on in Nigeria. He further quoted the president saying that, at their campaign the president party said if they fail to deliver their promises Nigerians should stone them". So what crime is there to remind the president of his campaign promises and suggesting resignation if he feels incompetent? That's why there is no development no peace, no cooperation because you people just cant be objective in your reasoning? Because I wonder what is your justification for calling the senator names
Ogah Ushie Godwin >> You are rather the buffon. Because none of your relations has been k*lled, and again, you are a beneficiary of the evil system that is why you have the gods to insult a serving Honourable Senator who is discharging his constitutional responsibilities. How dare you, nonsense woman!
Yusuf Alkali >> Lauretta Onochie is nothing but an easy virtue girly mama who has no sense of nationalism or responsibility. She lives by existential proclivities and cares about her handbag alone. She is not worthy of the saving index of every woman as a mother and she is a subsistential casualty of modern day hegemonic slavery prosecuted carefully by Buhari and his minions. Calling Senator Abaribe buffoon for daring to tell the truth is her height of being a courtesan in the court of mediocrity and debauchery.
