Newscenter Media News Two of President Bola Tinubu’s aides, Bayo Onanuga and O’tega Ogra are at logger heads following an old video that was posted on X yesterday by Ogra who is a Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media.
In the video posted on Ogra’s X handle on Wednesday afternoon, President Tinubu is seen urging Nigerians to be patient as he is working hard to turn around the pains and hardship in the country.
Ogra had captioned the video,
“A Passionate Plea from President Bola Tinubu @officialABAT to all Nigerians,” making it look like it was a recent video by Tinubu.
“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,” Tinubu is heard saying.

However, on Wednesday night, there was a twist to the video when Onanuga, Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, posted the same video with a different text, this time saying it was an old video as Tinubu has not spoken since his nationwide address on Sunday.
“Trending video of President Tinubu is an old video,” Onanuga wrote.
He went on to explain further:
“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,” he added.
