Top news this week: Sowore’s re-arrest, Aisha’s ordeal, new FIRS and AMCON bosses, others This week, social media platforms — especially Twitter and Facebook – witnessed episodic events unfolding with series of controversial reactions.

Interestingly, the Presidency was at the epicentre of these controversies due to the reactions and counter-reactions.

In a personally signed statement, the wife of the president expressed regret that Shehu’s “failures” had caused a great deal of embarrassment to President Buhari. Aisha went on to accuse Garba of even sponsoring “media campaign of calumny against her children and herself “as part of his latest antics against the Buhari family.

”As a symbolic demonstration of our protest against autocracy and military-style repression, PUNCH will henceforth prefix Buhari’s name with his rank as a military dictator in the 80s, Major General, and refer to his administration as a regime, until they purge themselves of their insufferable contempt for the rule of law,” it said.

Hours later, however, another presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu, released a more lengthy statement attacking the newspaper. “He has also continuously rendered outsourced services to clients in trading, service and manufacturing sectors of the nation’s economy.” The letter dated Monday, December 9, 2019, reads, “In accordance with Section 10 of the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria Act, 2010, I hereby present Mr. Edward Lametek Adamu for confirmation as Chairman of the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria by the Distinguished Senate.

Although the SSS later released a statement claiming its officials did not invade the court, Femi Falana, the counsel to Mr Sowore, said the head of the SSS team to the court apologised to Mrs Ojukwu for the invasion
