Highly vocal senator and chairman of Silverbird group, Ben Murray-Bruce has aired his candid opinion on the appointment of Buhari's staunch Twitter supporter, Tolu Ogunlesi as the Special Adviser on Digital/New Media to the presidency.

The senator feels Buhari is channeling much energy into the media with the appointment of 4 media aides so far with no Special Adviser on the economy despite the dire need of one.

Nigeria is currently struggling economically following the fall of oil prices in the international market to $27 per barrel with the value of the Nigerian currency hitting a record low of almost N400 to a dollar.
