Accused of having committed several errors in the communication of Mohamed Bazoum and of being at the origin of games of comparison between the current President of the Republic and his predecessor Mahamadou Issoufou through social networks, Waziri Idrissa Dan Madaouan, adviser in communication is no longer part of the staff of the Nigerien head of state since the end of last week.
Sources close to the presidential cabinet said he was forced to resign after spending three months in this post. “His goal is to erase the image of President Issoufou and highlight President Bazoum by saying that he is doing better than his predecessor. We also learn that the commissioning of an article with Jeune Afrique on bilateral relations with Algeria would have been the trigger for this affair. In this article, President Bazoum’s communications advisor clearly asked Jeune Afrique to emphasize that under the governance of President Issoufou Mahamadou, cooperation is not good between Algeria and Niger and that it is with the arrival of Bazoum Mohamed in power that things are normalized with in particular the opening of the borders ”, reports the site Tam-Tam Info.
The caciques of the office of Pnds Tarayya, a party of which the President of the Republic is a member, also noted several grievances against the concerned, including a “lack of experience, complaints from the minister in charge of communication and the spokesperson. government as well as media officials and journalists ”. They would thus have decided by mutual agreement to force him to resign.
