VIA PUNCH:

Presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, has insisted that President Bola Tinubu is deeply aware of the struggles Nigerians face, countering accusations that the President is indifferent to citizens’ hardships.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics on Sunday, Onanuga dismissed social media nicknames labelling Tinubu as “T-pain” as mischievous, reiterating that the President is committed to turning Nigeria’s economic fortunes around.

“President Tinubu feels the pain of Nigerians and assures them that relief is on the horizon.

“Some have resorted to calling him ‘T-pain’ out of mischief, but he is not that. He’s here to heal, not to hurt,” Onanuga stressed.

Onanuga’s comments follow criticisms that have berated Tinubu’s economic reforms, particularly the removal of petrol subsidies and forex unification.

These policies have driven sharp increases in the cost of food, fuel, and other essentials, sparking widespread frustration among citizens.
