Bosun Tijani, an Information Technology expert and ministerial nominee from Ogun State, clarified the circumstances behind his non-patriotic tweet from over 4 years ago during the ongoing ministerial screening.
In response to a question from Senator Abdulfatai Buhari, Tijani attributed the tweet to anger, explaining that it was a result of frustration he experienced with the Chinese Embassy.
The nominee emphasized his passion for Nigeria and commitment to its development.
Recall Tijani’s past remarks have resurfaced, sparking controversy and drawing attention to his nomination.
One user that goes by Abdul_A_Bello in response to Tijani’s nomination tweeted, “I personally collated screenshots of selected Bosun Tijani toxic posts about Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu , the former President Buhari and many others. Sent it to my Senator representing my constituency so he can throw it to the floor of the House during Bosun’s ministerial screening. @bosuntijani called ASO ROCK “AssholeRock” and described Nigeria as a wrong country to represent…Such persons are not patriotic enough to serve in such position of authority. I expect the @NGRSenate to reject this nomination without further delay.”
@adeosunm tweeted, “Consistency in character is highly regarded virtue that reflects a person’s commitment to principles and values. Consistency involves acting in a steady, predictable manner & being honestly upright. It leads to trust, respect & reputation in relationships. Bosun Tijani lacks it!”
