Breaking News: Did Obi Asika take Reno Omokri's job? Eh, no! Here's what I know

So the news of Reno Omokri being sacked by Pres. Jonathan and Obi Asika taking over his position went viral yesterday and many of you wondered why I didn't carry the news. Well, that's because I know it's not completely true. Here's what I know - which I found out a few weeks back by the way.

Obi Asika has been hired by the current administration - that's a fact - but his position is not same level as Reno. Reno is the Special Assistant to President Jonathan on New Media in Oronto Douglas office while Obi Asika is now SSA to president Jonathan, Social Media. It's like cabinet level rank of Minister of State - which will be the first time for social media in Africa. They're taking social media serious now...;-)

Obi Asika has resumed officially and his play will be on digital Nigeria, web strategy etc. This is a LIB exclusive..:-). Hoping to get an exclusive interview with Obi Asika soon.
