Is This True? Obi Asika Replaces Reno Omokri As Special Assistant To The President On New Media ?

A certain blog is reporting that President Goodluck Jonathan has changed his social media team, sidelining his increasingly controversial point man, Reno Omokri by appointing Obi Asika as the new senior special assistant on social media.
This is what the blog posted.

According to SaharaReporters, a source at the Presidency revealed that Mr. Omokri, who returned from California to boost President Jonathan’s political campaigns in 2011, had become a huge liability and source of distraction.

Apart from his dubious activities and touchy personality, Omokri has committed a series of blunders in recent months that cast Mr. Jonathan’s campaign in bad light. One of such cases was when he organized two online polls that eventually showed that President Jonathan would lose the 2015 elections to the opposition APC presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, by a wide margin. Several sources at the Presidency said Mr. Omokri’s cup became full after he engineered a poll on Twitter where informal posts showed that Mr. Jonathan’s electoral prospects had become wretched. “That ill-advised Twitter poll backfired and caused embarrassment to Mr. President,” said a source close to the Jonathan campaign.

In a short email obtained by SaharaReporters earlier today, presidential spokesman Reuben Abati confirmed Mr. Asika’s appointment to take charge of the president’s social media coverage. A source in the Presidency disclosed that Mr. Omokri was now in a subordinate position to Mr. Asika in the hierarchy of aides working on the president’s social media image.

“If Reno decides to remain here, he will have to be reporting to Obi Asika,” the source revealed.
