On 25th July, 2024 the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir David Lawal while reacting to the recent statement of Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu, that the people planning to stage the protest were the supporters of the Peter Obi, urged President Bola Tinubu to remove Bayo Onanuga from his Senior Special Adviser on Information and Strategy because he did not mean well for his administration.
According to the Daily Post, the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir David Lawal said “Tinubu should remove Bayo Onanuga from his position because he doesn’t mean well for his government. His outbursts are inflaming Nigerians rather than pacifying them. When you are in government, you don’t insult the people.
I don’t know if Onanuga was the spokesman of the Motor Park Touts Association before he got his current appointment. They said he is educated, but it doesn’t show in his behavior. He has an in-built disdain for people, and it shows in the way he talks. I don’t expect a presidential spokesman to come out and say the planned protest is being organized by Peter Obi. If Obi had the character that Onanuga is ascribing to him, this government would have been down a long time ago.”
Babachir David Lawal urged the administration of the President of Nigeria, Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu not to use a forceful approach on the people planning for nationwide protests against his administration because they mean well for the country. He also added that President Tinubu was a good man, but he was surrounded by sycophants like Bayo Onanuga who would not tell him the truth about the current economic hardship facing the country….Viêw_ More
