Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has described as mischievous the nickname ascribed to his principal over the economic hardship in the country.
DAILY POST reports that Nigerians, who are angered by the ravaging economic downturn, coined the term T-Pain to describe President Tinubu.
According to them, the president, through his unfavourable policies, imposed hardship on the citizens.
Addressing the matter on Sunday, in an interview with Channels TV, Onanuga said Tinubu has not come to inflict pain on Nigerians but to “repair the economy.”
According to him, “the President is aware that the citizens are going through some difficulties,” but he is not aware that some persons have labelled him T-Pain on social media as “the President does not read what is on social media.”
He said: “Some people have also responded and called the president a different name. So, as far as I am concerned, it is a non-issue. Some people, out of mischief, just say somebody is a T-Pain. He (Tinubu) is not T-Pain.”
