A recent video posted on Bola Tinubu’s official X (formerly Twitter) handle has sparked significant confusion and criticism.
The video, which began circulating widely on Wednesday, purportedly features a new address from the Tinubu.
However, Bayo Onanuga, the president’s spokesman, has clarified that the clip is not recent. “The video in question is actually from a broadcast made by Tinubu last year, ” he added.
The unexpected denial by Onanuga has led to a flurry of reactions from the public and media. Many have expressed frustration over what they perceive as a failure in the management of the president’s social media presence.
Critics are questioning the credibility of the video, asking who is responsible for maintaining the accuracy of content shared on the president’s official X account.
The incident has raised concerns about the oversight of the president’s online communications. Questions are being asked about the procedures in place to ensure that official statements and media are properly vetted before being posted.
This lapse has been described as embarrassing, with calls for a thorough review of the administration’s digital communication strategies.
Many Nigerians are calling for increased transparency and accountability in managing official social media accounts to prevent future controversies.
