Lauretta Onochie, personal assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on social media, says working for the president is “one of the easiest jobs on earth.”

In an interview with PUNCH, Onochie said Buhari’s “honesty” makes her job “very easy.”

She also said this was applicable with the jobs of all other presidential aides.

“When you have to make up stories to cover inefficiencies, then your job becomes difficult,” she said.

“But with our president, he is an upright man and he is straightforward. He has the utmost respect for Nigerians.

“Consequently, those of us who are working with him do not have to cook up stories to cover anything up . We just say the truth. This is why I say that it is very easy to work with the president we have today.”

She also said the president had brought positive change to Nigeria.

“I will not agree with anybody that says they have not seen change. Like I always say, change is a process, it is not an event,” she added.

She alleged that some persons were praying for President Buhari to die because of “selfishness.”

According to her, “some people may be standing trial. They are those who held sway and squandered our national wealth or arrogated them to themselves and their families alone.”

“Some of them are in trouble with Nigerians, and so they feel that with President Buhari in the saddle, they will continue to be held accountable for the evil that they brought upon our nation,” she said.

“So the easiest thing for them to do will be, if they cannot lay their hands on the President to strangle him, the best thing is to do some spiritual things in order to get him out of the way so that the corruption that Nigerians hate will continue.

“But God who brought President Buhari and gave Nigerians the wisdom and courage to vote out the government that held sway over the looting of our common treasury, that same God is going to see our nation through.”
