Tinubu's Aide Linked to Scam Sponsorship Deals Exposed

The real reason behind President Bola Tinubu's sacking of his former special assistant for the digital creative economy, linked to alleged scams, has emerged. It was revealed that the ex-presidential aide, Umunubo, engaged in dubious sponsorship deals promising government support and funding to creatives that never materialized.

One notable case involved a promised N10 million sponsorship deal with filmmaker and author Arese Ugwu. Umunubo allegedly used his position to make deals that did not deliver as promised, including promotional rights and influencer shoutouts.

This revelation sheds light on potential corruption within the presidency's digital creative initiatives.
