Nigerians on Twitter went agog yesterday when they found out that the media campaign for the presidential candidate under the Young Progressive party(YPP) Kingsley Moghalu is being handled by red media Africa.
It will be recalled that Red media Africa managed the Buhari/Osinbajo media campaign in 2015, that brought him in as the president and also handled the presidential campaign for the present Ghanaian president Nana Akufo-Addo.

Nigerians reacted to news both in a negative way and in a positive way: some disclosed distrust for Professor Moghalu while others said Red Media cannot be blamed for Buhari’s win.
See below few tweets reaction

Moghalu hired Red media in 2017.
He is cancelled. I don't want to hear it's business.
I'm over emotional right now.

Let me get this straight. Kingsley Moghalu's campaign is being managed by RED media, same outfit that managed Buhari's?
So what's the plan? Use Kingsley Moghalu to attract mumu Southern voters, diluting PDP votes, while the core-Northern voting Block for Buhari remains intact? 😦— Prof Stanley Nwabia (@MrStanleyNwabia) August 22, 2018
Bro for you to say RED MEDIA is the reason buhari won shows you probably have the IQ of a goldfish. And this is me being magnanimous https://t.co/Wbio1C8HwA

By all means, Kingsley should answer questions about his funding. But I see nothing wrong with him hiring Red Media.
Show me another communication & strategy firm that has delivered like they have.
I understand the anger, but I think it's misplaced. RED is not the problem.

I also cited other unethical practices from them. Including using religion to manipulate people.
Now when Red Media brands KCM, how do I believe that what they say is true and it isn't "just a job"?
Elections are about trust. How do I trust KCM when his mouthpiece is a liar?
