The Presidency on Wednesday called for legal action against social media influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VDM, over the circulation of an alleged fake audio purportedly linked to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, accused the influencer of spreading false content on social media, describing the development as a serious abuse of digital platforms.

Onanuga made the remarks in a post on X, while reacting to controversy surrounding an audio recording circulating online and allegedly attributed to President Tinubu.

“This VDM needs to face the weight of the law for being the conveyor and disseminator of a fake audio of President Tinubu. This is a clear case of an egregious abuse of the social media platform,” Onanuga wrote.

The presidential aide’s comments followed a post by an X user identified as Aneex, who questioned claims that the voice in the recording belonged to the President.

The user dismissed the recording as “cheap propaganda” and alleged that VDM was exploiting public sentiment to spread misleading information.

The development has sparked reactions on social media, with debates continuing over the authenticity of the audio and concerns over the spread of unverified content on digital platforms.
