The Special Assistant on Digital Media Strategy to former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, Demola Olarenwaju, has accused President Bola Tinubu and his Lagos boys of living large at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Olarenwaju said Tinubu and his Lagos boys in Aso Rock wrongly believe that Nigerians can forever tolerate his living large on public expense while the average citizen suffers.
Posting on X, Atiku’s aide said the president and his cronies are out of touch with reality.
He wrote: “If you judge the effect of T-pain with the attitude and coping mechanisms of Lagosians, you’ll wrongly conclude ‘it isn’t that deep.’ Lagos is a microcosm of Nigeria, but it is not a true reflection of the average Nigerian. To govern Nigeria as Lagos is a mistake in political leadership, and to draw conclusions about Nigeria from Lagos is poor judgment.
“The average Lagos resident came to Lagos from all over Nigeria, Africa, and the world with a mindset to hustle and succeed. Lagosians are resilient and will rather ‘double their hustle’ than wear their disappointment around the place.
“Tinubu and his Lagos Boys group in Aso Rock are out of touch with the reality of many Nigerians — another reason why diversity is important. Tinubu wrongly believes that Nigerians can forever tolerate his living large on public expense while the average Nigerian suffers.
“Were Tinubu a true Lagosian though, he would understand how to decode the hidden signs of hunger, pain, and frustration that the hustling Lagosians always try to mask.
“The danfo driver last week who didn’t mind setting himself on fire along with the LASTMA guy: people are frustrated, and they will not need Sowore to call for revolution when they’re ready.”
