A Twitter user, @iam_ademuyiwa has clamoured for the sack of Nigerian writer, Toni Kan who was recently appointed as a spokesperson to the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management & Social Development, Sadiya Farouq.
Ademuyiwa pressed for his immediate sack because Kan used to be a staunch member of the opposition party and a strong critic of President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).
Tagging the accomplished writer as an enemy within, he said Kan was the reason why the Minister's efforts were not widespread.
"A lot of work is being done by the ministry but nobody is hearing about it. How can @Sadiya_farouq give a PDP member and staunch enemy of @MBuhari the task to announce @FMHDSD achievements?
"Isn’t that what we call an OWN GOAL? #EnemyWithin and that of PROGRESSiveness," Ademuyiwa asked.

Ademuyiwa continued with his attack, calling Toni Kan a snitch and a mole.
Good afternoon ma @Sadiya_farouq , I just want you to know that your hustle and bustle via @FMHDSD means nothing to those who aren’t seeing them.

Other Nigerians advised the Minister to take Muyiwa's side.
@Sadiya_farouq are you still a learner in this game? This is unacceptable. We seek no financial gain, just to see Nigeria succeed. What a shame. That ministry is one of the bed rock of this admin and should be handled by a more professional person. You are a failure!!!

Why blaming enemy within, the attack should be on that clueless minister @Sadiya_farouq for appointing the enemy.Your humble self,@cbngov_akin1 @OvieAli and so many of us that strategies during the campaign process.

Sadiya Farooq is not a competent minister either. Many things is wrong in that ministry.

Not everyone agrees with Muyiwa. A few others think he is the best for the job.
Is he or she qualified for the job? If yes, then I think the appointment is in order cos the last time I checked, the minister is for the Federal Government of Nigeria and not of APC. We must always learn to draw the lines. After all, it is a big service to hold govt accountable

I understand your position. But one of the questions we should be asking; is he capable?
