Atiku: Tinubu’s Government Uses Propaganda as State Policy Amid Hunger Protests.
Atiku Abubakar’s media team criticized the media handlers of President Bola Tinubu, accusing them of misleading Nigerians by using propaganda as a state policy. The controversy began when President Tinubu’s official social media account posted an old video clip of him appealing for calm amid ongoing #EndBadGovernance protests. The video, initially presented as a recent message, was later revealed by presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga to be from a previous year.
Atiku’s Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, condemned the act, stating that it was a deliberate attempt to deceive Nigerians and distract them from the president’s poorly received national broadcast on the protests. Ibe highlighted this incident as indicative of the Tinubu administration’s reliance on propaganda, describing it as a “shameless” tactic that undermines public trust.
He argued that the use of an outdated video was not just a mistake but a reflection of the presidency’s broader approach to governance—characterized by misinformation, policy inconsistencies, and a lack of credibility. Ibe called for an apology from the Tinubu administration, emphasizing that such deceptive practices contribute to the erosion of confidence in the government and exacerbate the ongoing issues of poor governance in the country.
