Deji Adeyanju
Social media warrior, Deji Adeyanju has been technically removed as the Director of New Media of the major opposing political party in Nigeria, PDP considering a questionable post. There has been viral rumours of Deji Adeyanju being axed from the position of the Director of New Media of the People's Democratic Party, PDP, which has attracted the response of the leadership of the party.
Ahmed Makarfi, Chairman of the party’s Caretaker Committee yesterday told Premium Times correspondent that Mr. Adeyanju still retained his position as the social media manager of the party although the party had issues with his questionable statements he distributed without clearance from appropriate authorities.
Mr. Adeyanju was announced to have been removed in a statement distributed by Dayo Adeyeye, the party’s publicity secretary, on Friday afternoon. The statement cited different acts of insubordination.
The statement, signed by Chinwe Nnorom on behalf of Mr. Adeyeye, also said @PdpNigeria, the official Twitter handle of the party run by Mr. Adeyanju, was no longer recognised by the party.
“In view of the above, the party has immediately re-launched a new handle: @officialpdpnig to form part of the social media platform of our great party for ease of communication, administration and control,” Mr. Adeyeye was quoted as saying.
But in a message to a correspondent, Mr. Makarfi, a former governor of Kaduna State, said the PDP still recognises Mr. Adeyanju and the new media department, but added that their activities would be streamlined going forward.
“If he was employed by the last National Working Committee, then we will have no reason to remove him but to streamline his work,” Mr. Makarfi said.
Mr. Adeyanju was appointed in December 2015, and had been responsible for issuing press statements on behalf of the party.
