The Special Assistant to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, has challenged President Bola Tinubu to sack his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, over his comment on late former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Shaibu said Tinubu’s presidency has sunk to the level where
he now fights with “ghosts” and blames the dead.
He was reacting to Onanuga’s post on X regarding Buhari’s 12
million votes.
Onanuga had posted a video of a large crowd with the
caption: “A video to rejig the memory of those who claimed that only Buhari’s
13 million votes gave him the presidency in 2015 and 2019.”
The video has been deleted by Onanuga amid backlash.
He posted the video on Tuesday while preparations were
ongoing for Buhari’s burial in Daura, Katsina State.
Reacting, Shaibu insisted that Onanuga got Tinubu’s
clearance before posting such a video, before he deleted it.
Posting on X, Shaibu wrote: “@aonanuga1956, this is how low
the Tinubu presidency has sunk.
Fighting ghosts because it cannot face Nigerians. Blaming a
dead man because the living one in Aso Rock is clueless.
If @MBuhari was so irrelevant, why is your presidency still
trembling at his shadow and his 12 million votes?
Why are you dragging his corpse into a propaganda war just
to defend a regime choking under its own incompetence?
Let’s be honest. Tinubu has failed in record time. His
‘renewed hope’ is now renewed hunger. And his legacy is already hiding behind
the coffin of his predecessor.
This is not governance. It is a circus of insecurity, where
those in charge panic at the truth and lash out at the dead because they have
lost control of the living.
The Tinubu presidency cannot tame inflation, cannot stop the
naira from bleeding, cannot keep the lights on or salaries paid, but has time
to launch a PR war against a dead man.
A government that is losing the living is now picking fights
with the dead.
If this is the best @officialABAT’s media team can offer,
then we truly have no leadership, only loud bitterness masking quiet failure.
Let us stop pretending. No presidential aide attacks a
former head of state who is not even buried without clearance from the top.
If @officialABAT did not approve the gutter-level assault on
Buhari’s legacy, let him prove it. Sack @aonanuga1956 now.
Otherwise, Nigerians will know this is not just
indiscipline. It is a cowardly hit job signed by the President himself.
