Fuel Subsidy: Atiku slams Tinubu, calls president derogatory name for inflicting pain on Nigerians
"As things stand, there will be no let-up in the escalating inflation rate, which is drowning the material well-being of Nigerians. It is even more worrying that T-Pain is undisturbed by the hardship in the country."
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, on Thursday, mocked President Bola Tinubu over the president’s handling of the fuel subsidy removal.
Atiku, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate who lost to President Tinubu in the 2023 election called Mr Tinubu “T-Pain”, a veiled reference to the pain Nigerians are going through as a result of the president’s economic policies.
The nickname, coined by a China-based schoolteacher and social media critic, Dan Bello, is used to mock the president for some of the hardships caused by his administration’s policies.
In the past couple of months, Mr Bello has released several parody videos to mock the president, using derogatory names such as “Tulumbu, T-Pain” and others.
The names have become very popular, particularly on X.
However, there is a possibility that Mr Tinubu, who claims not to check social media, has not seen the names given to him.
Atiku, in a post on his verified X account, has now popularised the use of the president’s nickname.
