Cold War Brews Among Tinubu’s Aides Over President’s Video On Social Media 

There appears to be a cold war between two of President Bola Tinubu’s media aides over a video that appeared on his verified X page on Wednesday.

Around 3:29 pm, a tweet was posted from Tinubu’s page, in which he urged Nigerians that “as we navigate through these temporary pains, please remember that every effort is being made to ensure a stable and prosperous future for all Nigerians.

“Our collective strength and unity will pave the way for a brighter tomorrow. We are in this together, and we will overcome.”

A quick search showed that the message had initially been posted on the X page of O’tega Ogra, who is 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, there was a twist later in the day.

At exactly 10:18 pm, Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, posted the video with a different text.

Onanuga 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.
