UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has featured Nigerian-born social media personality Bemi Orojuogun, popularly known as “Bus Auntie,” in a video promoting his government’s nationwide £2 capped bus fare policy. In the clip shared on X after Burnham took office, Bus Aunty jokingly tells the Prime Minister, “Oh Prime Minister, you’re stealing my job!”—a playful reference to his new role and his decision to champion affordable public transport. The collaboration has drawn attention among Nigerians, with many viewing it as a sign of the growing influence of the Nigerian diaspora in the UK. Bus Aunty, a 56-year-old nurse who gained popularity through her cheerful videos on London buses, is now appearing alongside the country’s highest political office to promote a major government initiative. The moment also underscores the increasing role of digital creators in public engagement, with Bus Aunty’s online popularity helping bring wider attention to the government’s transport policy. #andyburnham #worldnews #unitedkingdom #nigerianews #nigeriannews
