“How can somebody hack the president’s speech?”

The fake version of the address, which found its way onto official platforms of the State House Press Corps and other social media channels, was filled with errors and information different from what was contained in the one read on national television by the president.

But in the broadcast, President Buhari announced Monday, May 4, 2020, as the date to begin a gradual lifting of the lockdown. A mix-up should not have occurred in the first instance in the preparation of the president’s speech, Abati stated during a live television programme which was monitored by The Guardian in Abuja yesterday.

A few days ago, a memo to Mustapha by the Nigeria Governors’ Forum was allegedly scanned and leaked on social media. Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, made the disclosure on a television programme. “You have just mentioned the effective day particularly of the gradual easing of the lockdown. What happened was that somebody got hold of the initial draft of the broadcast and played hanky panky with it by releasing it through the social media.

“So some hours before the recording was played back, I saw something circulating on social media, I knew that that was not the copy that I signed off on. Then we began to investigate. It has been found out that the original script from inception was what somebody laid hands on it and released to the social media.”

When you have lockdown, then, some people will also hackdown

How can a live speech abi broadcast be hacked?🤷‍♀️ it shows that it was never a live speech 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I'm surprised too.Does it mean that Nigeria is so porous that the President's speech can be leaked before time?This country is a big Joke and they are even announcing it instead conducting their investigation secretly...LUAGHABLE

Why won't it be hacked, when they are busy chasing shadow

Tbh, I am not surprised at all. The man himself hacked Nigerians and Aso Rock Villa to have gotten elected a 2nd term considering the level of inefficiency, timidity and failed leadership style in his first term in office.

Tbh, I am not surprised at all. Leaking will continue in the Buhari govt when the so called “leader” is not on top of his game / team.

Welcome to Nigeria

I don't care about the damn leakage... Just fix this country before it hits the rock!

So discouraging.does that mean PMB can be trusted with a live speech anymore?This says alot.

What so special about the speech and leaked? Is it not parts of the insecurities of this inept regime? I prefer leaked exam questions to this no brain speech. Mtchewww

Just like students seeing question paper before the examination..

One funny thing with some Nigerians on social media is that in a way they believe responses to intellectual matters such as this must be hilarious even when the post is openly requesting for a constructive response possibly to aid a directive measure toward a solution. Lolz

Maybe while he was learning his pronounctions and how to act the script.

Hahahahaha.... I just the laugh in french

That's why any presidential broadcast should be live, don't they have the facilities? when osho baba making his first address as a governor, it was live by AIT the transmission crew was airing it direct from the the occasion

I can never pay for such a broadcast. It's too unreal ... The shooter is a very very very bad shooter ... It was really obvious that bubu is not on set.

If you ask me who I go ask.....

The presidency should do thorough investigation, and ensure that those people who are responsible for this leak are punished. It is bad.

May be it is Lai Mohammed. Ask him.

Presidency confirmed that the Speech was recorded

Because his Government is a hacked Government.

I think say E suppose to be life thing? Na wow for this country o

Im hungry o, help me

🤣🤣🤣🤣No shame walahi.....can you imagine the questionNo wonder masses are suffering!!!Hack President speech indeed🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶

when you choose nepotism over credibility you end up surrounding yourself with incompetent bootlickers and this is one of the outcomes of such unpatriotic leadership qualities

APC government should answer that question.

From his media crew I guess.

Seriously, there is a problem ooh 😮

Hmmmmmm

Simple! By substituting the dates and figures in his last speech, with existing realities...
