Storm Over New Tinubu Video

Published

on

A new video shared by President Tinubu’s media aide, Bayo Onanuga, has sparked widespread backlash on social media.

The new video, posted on Onanuga’s X (formerly Twitter) account, shows President Bola Tinubu addressing Nigerians, stating, “I didn’t come to look for money and exploit the situation; I came to work. I asked for the votes, and Nigerians gave them to me.”

Watch the video below;

While the statement was likely meant to highlight the president’s commitment to service, it has triggered heated reactions from netizens who questioned his motives and criticized the president’s leadership style.

Many social media users took issue with Tinubu’s claim of not being interested in financial gain, with some questioning his use of public funds. One major point of contention was the reported purchase of an expensive presidential jet, which critics argued contradicted his assertion of not being motivated by money.

“How do you justify buying an expensive jet with government funds if you’re not here for the money?” one user wrote, reflecting the sentiments of many who believe that actions speak louder than words.

Additionally, Tinubu’s remark that Nigerians “gave” him their votes stirred another round of controversy. Several commenters questioned the legitimacy of the election, with some asking who exactly voted for him. The disputed results of the 2023 presidential election have remained a sensitive topic, and his statement rekindled that debate.

“Who are the Nigerians that gave you their votes? You didn’t win the people’s mandate,” one commenter posted, referencing the contentious nature of the election outcome.

Read some netizens’ reactions to the new viral video of President Tinubu;

@TimedFrank: What is this?

Of all things to post on the economy, health, security, education or the impending flood, it’s this 20 secs video of utter irrelevance?

Again, what is this? You guys are still stuck in campaign/election mode. Let him speak on his plans, policies or achievements.

@SamuelIse3: Wait please did I just hear you say you asked for the vote and they gave it to you 😂😂😂 funny man , nobody voted for you , you ring it and it shall never be well with Mahmood Yakubu

@mrfowosere: But you are enjoying the most luxury money can buy from governments money
While Nigerians are suffering like they have never ever suffered before.
Not everybody is delusional like your APC supporters.

@dapsie: I feel insulted by Tinubu. Number one, you forced yourself on Nigeria. Number two, you are obviously enjoying the trappings of the office. If not, why would you insist on buying a luxurious presidential even though you have your private one. Vp’s quarters, the escalade? All you just want is to be “prezzdent” and now that you are, you are confused:
Just prepare to charge everybody in Nigeria for treason soon.

@MOshaibu: Liar. Nobody gave you votes.

@Babaknaija: Then he should have used his private jet and have govt pay for the estacode rather than buy a new one costing nearly 200bn….Yatch he doesn’t need and escalade cos he watched it on the movie 24hrs….but no he came to enjoy vanities with tax payers money

@ikepicano: He snatched it bro…how is he buying jets,yatch, spending 21b on renovation?

The backlash against the video reflects the growing public scrutiny over the actions and policies of the Tinubu administration, as many Nigerians continue to express dissatisfaction with the current economic situation and governance.

As the reactions continue to pour in, it remains to be seen how Tinubu’s media team will address the criticism and whether this latest controversy will further strain public relations.
