Kalu Aja, a financial analyst and educator, has accused President Bola Tinubu’s media of being dysfunctional.
“The President’s Media team is dysfunctional,” Aja posted on X.
The statement followed a seemingly cold war between two of Tinubu’s media aides.
The disagreement is centered on a video posted on the President’s verified X page on Wednesday.
DAILY POST reports that the President had in the video attached with a post urged Nigerians to be patient as they navigate through economic hardship, assuring that effort is being made to ensure a stable and prosperous future for all Nigerians.
A quick search earlier showed the message had initially been posted on the X page of O’tega Ogra, a Senior Special Assistant to the President.
Ogra uploaded the same video at 1:49 pm and wrote: “A Passionate Plea from President Bola Tinubu @officialABAT to all Nigerians.”
However, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, took to X, describing the video as an old video.
Onanuga said Tinubu has not made any other public statement since his last Sunday broadcast.
He wrote: “Trending video of President Tinubu is an old video
“A trending video of President Tinubu which came out on Wednesday is not a new video. It’s a clip from the broadcast he made last year.
“President Tinubu has not made any other public statement since his last broadcast on Sunday.”
