Social media users have dug out old tweets of Bosun Tijani, one of the ministerial nominees unveiled at the upper chamber on Wednesday.
Tijani is the CEO and co-founder of CCHub, Nigeria’s biggest tech hub.
Following his unveiling as one of the ministerial nominees, his previous tweets bashing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and former president Muhammadu Buhari.
The honest men and women around Buhari should help us understand why they will give their lives for a sick and disconnected man to rule Nigeria. At all cost. Please explain how Buhari is qualified to lead a nation like Nigeria. Please help us understand.

Doing everything possible to keep Buhari in power is nothing but a disservice in my opinion and that makes you a dishonest person. Too many people are in pain and can use urgent leadership in Nigeria. If you get in the way of them trying credible options, you are an enemy!

I see Bosun Tijani’s old tweets are beginning to trend. His decision not to delete it shows he has guts. Taking up a govt appointment comes with risks. It’s one thing to have brilliant ideas and it’s another thing to have your principal approve them. I hope he succeeds https://t.co/7hJ8x5BtWO
