Bayo Onanuga, spokesperson for President Bola Tinubu, has refuted claims that the President is indifferent to the struggles of Nigerians, following criticism circulating on social media.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Onanuga emphasized that Tinubu is aware of the challenges facing Nigerians and is committed to improving their lives.
He also addressed a recent social media nickname, “T-pain,” attributed to Tinubu, which Onanuga called “mischievous.”
He clarified that Tinubu’s intentions are not to worsen conditions for Nigerians but to “repair the economy.”
He said, “The President is aware that the citizens are going through some difficulties” but said Tinubu is not aware that some persons have labelled him T-pain on social media as “the President does not read what is on the social media”.

Onanuga said, “Some people have also responded and called the President a different name. So, as far as I am concerned, it is a non-issue.
“Some people out of mischief just say somebody is a T-pain, He (Tinubu) is not T-pain.
“The President has never shied away from telling Nigerians that he feels their pain and he is working very hard to make sure that he gives them some relief so that things will get better and this country will get more prosperity.”
He said despite galloping inflation, “we are experiencing economic growth, despite inflation, revenues have increased”.
