He is actually a good man, he was telling them the truth

jackcanfield:
Make you na leave Oga Bosun alone, na our guy ...Abeg o which one is "serving power a la carte" , make someone explain, I never Sabi English na to mix am with French come remain...

That's a kind of French or latini imported into the English language. It means when something is ordered individually or in restaurant when dishes are ordered individually from the menu

Exactly! People digging up old tweets like Archaeologists excavating fossils are just wasting their time; it's all about interests.

Okealaaye:
There's no permanent foes in politics. Didn't FFK call Tinubu names? Didn't Peter Obi swear by the grave of his father's that he would never leave APGA? Abeg, release the past

Emetex22:

You go explain and defend tire, its not uhuru 😆 😂 🤣

but he ll have to defend govt now cos as minister u are part of govt and tinubu person automatically...

And so what? Didn't wike say worse things..where is wike now?..
Sentiments aside. Dr Bosun can deliver. That's all that matters.

Well, let's assume the DSS did due diligence during its screening of potential and didn't miss these quote in the process, and still went ahead to clear the nominee, concluding the tweets are unharmful, except to the ego and pride of the nominee.

Let the nominee take a bow and go. His 'sins' are nothing compared to that of some other nominees.

To be fair to him, he advocated for people who have things to offer and are willing to serve to be allowed to serve irrespective of party affiliation since public service belongs to no one’s father.

Digging deep to bring out a 2019 tweet where he said something not so nice about Tinubu just to blackmail him is nonsense. A lot of those that accused Peter Obi of being a failure while serving as governor are now telling us he’s the best thing to happen to humanity after slice bread. People change their opinion about others with time and it’s no big deal.

So, it’s nothing. The tweet means nothing. He will serve as minister and contribute his quota to the development of the country. We want people who can deliver result in government and not asslickers. You all should learn to deal with it.

Well said sir.

Woke said worst than this. But today, he is a ministerial nominee .

Never trust words that lay on politicians tongue .

The internet never forgets.

TooNoisy:
No big deal here. It shows Tinubu nominated him based on competence and not necessarily because he was a die hard suporter. The man has a very impressive CV and that is most important.

It is even to Tinubu's credit that he has nominated a very impressive guy who was not always a supporter and Bosun now has to prove himself.

Don't mind them, Ma'am!
If you think President Tinubu don't know you on Twitter or other Social Media you are parading,na lie to yourself be that!
Interestingly,'many don't know the man- Tinubu'- as Jo
Hon Fashola once said.
If Tinubu can accommodate former Governor,-Ambode then Tinubu looks beyond statements but your Competence,Capacity and Capabilities and ability to make a difference like former DG of NAFDAC- Prof.Akinyuli, is what matters!

He now has opportunity to make change, though the tweet was provoking, but will have a great president who see him have the prerequisite for a ministerial position and want to bring a fresh mind. He should not fail himself and his family.

Will you say the same if he is from SE?

Botragelad:
Politicians are one of the most crooked set of people you can come across. They're a bunch of hypocrites. They don't give a toss about the people they're supposed to serve. They only care about themselves and their mates.

Most African politicians don't even hide the fact that they're corrupt. They're brazen, they are. They'll steal and loot and embezzle without any shame or remorse. The only reason and time they speak up is when it's not in their favour. When they're caught or exposed or challenged, they'll start to whine and moan and lie.

They make Heraclitus' concept of change hit deep. He said that everything is in flux, that nothing stays the same, that you can't step in the same river twice. Opposites are connected!

Well, African politicians are like that. They change their statement and views as long as they're benefiting from a certain thing. They'll say one thing today and another thing tomorrow. They'll be for something when it suits them and against it when it doesn't. They'll be friends with someone when it helps them and enemies with them when it hurts them. They have no principles, no integrity.

they raid on your emotion

Exactly so it’s for Bosun now not to fall hand, go and change the narrative and do the right thing to make us proud.

Couldntfigurean:
Mention the bridges or road built by your Ashitwaju in Lagos
He was the worse to ever govern an already built Lagos,some of you won’t know because you were not born them

Kudirat Abiola Road, Oregun was dualised by Tinubu admin as Lagos gov. Over two decades later, the road still stands strong without porthole.

He also constructed/dualized & modernized Awolowo Road, Ikoyi; Akin Adesola Road, Victoria Island; Adeolu Odeku Road, Victoria Island; Agege Motor Road; Ikotun-Igando Road; Yaba-Itire-Lawanson-Ojuelegba Road; LASU-Iba Road, Ojo; Ajah-Badore Road, Eti-Osa; Oba Sekumade Road, Ikorodu; Adetokunbo Ademola Road, among others.

How about the transformation of Ahmadu Bello Way (only someone with amnesia will forget how the bar beach used to flood that area with the FG literally pumping billions worth of sand every year into the sea all to no avail) or how the entire stretch of Ozumba Mbadiwe used to look before he became governor?

Man isn't a saint or even close to being perfect but to suggest that he didn't build a single road is a lie taken too far.

The most important thing is can he delivers better than the people he criticized? Time will tell

Once again because "he is my tribe" "he is my religion" so we no go troll am. 🤣😂

The other one called opposition wild dogs on newspaper as a columnist. Though campaigns and elections are over, so we pardon him. And the man is also very brilliant.

Why should they? Is the Nigerian government Tinubu's personal property? Why should any Nigerian refuse to serve the peiple just because they may not have agreed with Tinubu's approach?

He didn't even say anything against Tinubu, to start with. He actually said Tinubu was being generous to people who don't deserve it. In another tweet, he said Atiku should support Obi for President instead of Obi being his vice. Naptu2 should have provided these contexts alongside the screenshots, so that people could be better informed.

Na for balls dem hol'am.

Obi is always the standard of measurement

That is Asiwaju for you. He doesn't take bitterness and dem say say by the naysayers. What he is after is to bring dividend of democracy to the grass root and makes the land flourish with honey and sugar.

I have no doubt that he will relatively perform very well compare to his predecessors.

So what about the tweet? He said the truth! Must a leader surround himself with ass-leaking sycophants? Did he lobby to be made a minister? If they don't want such a man of truth and integrity in their team they should continue with dear jokes of ministers like Wike, Hell Rufai and Co.

This is a perfect example of "since the past minister didnt do it well, now come do a better job" kind of situation. Kudos to Dr Bosun for airing his opinion and mire kudos to Tinubu for not minding a critic in his cabinet.

In all, Dr Bosun will have to put all hes got into this job to proof a point. I am sure he is coming into IT or digital sphere because if his contribution to naija tech space. Only time will tell. He was the one that interviewd Bill Gate last time he visited Naija.

it is not about Africa politicians or politicians per se. Most average Nigerians are nothing but hypocrite

you had to include Peter Obi in your comment to make it look as if you actually made sense in your post?

he was right. I know people who condemn Obi as a governor but sing his praises today

There's more.

Now he's going to serve as a minister in the sick and disconnected man government. 😂😂

Are you guys this naive and even stupid?? Tinubu can ever nominate anyone for competence without any political alignments or reward!! Such gullibility! Chai!
