Arise Television anchor, Rufai Oseni, has lashed out at Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, over his comment that ‘he does not see the hunger Nigerians are going through’.
Speaking on Wednesday during Arise Television’s ‘Morning
Show’, Rufai challenged the presidential aide to swear that Nigerians who have
begged him for money has not increased since the coming of Tinubu’s
administration.
He described Onanuga’s views on the level of hardship facing
Nigerians as ignorant.
Onanuga had, during a television interview, said he does not
share the view that the level of hunger often described by critics reflects the
reality across Nigeria.
According to the presidential spokesman, several government
initiatives have delivered tangible benefits to citizens, citing infrastructure
projects, student loans and credit facilities for workers as examples.
Reacting, Rufai said, “Bayo Onanuga should swear with the
Bible that the number of Nigerians begging him for urgent N2,000 has not
increased since Tinubu came to power.”
He accused Onanuga of being detached from the realities
confronting ordinary Nigerians, insisting that the daily experiences of
millions of citizens contradict claims that the level of suffering is being
exaggerated.
