Bosun Tijani Was Confirmed Because Tinubu Must’ve Seen Something Special In Him – Akpabio

akpabioThe Senate President, Godswill Akpabio has come out to explain why the Senate confirmed Dr. Bosun Tijani as Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy despite his controversial past.

He recently had his say while speaking at a special Iftar held at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, even if Dr. Bosun Tijani once calling Nigerian lawmakers morons made his screening in the Senate rocky for a while, ultimately, the lawmakers were swayed by their trust in President Bola Tinubu’s judgment.

He added that he was confirmed as minister because they believe BAT must have seen something special in him.

His words, “When he came to the Senate for screening, senators said, ‘No, no, we can’t have him.’

One senator quoted from the internet where he described all Nigerian senators as ‘morons.’

I had to stop proceedings and ask Bosun, ‘Did you write this?’ And he admitted, ‘Sir, I did because that was how I felt then.’ So I asked him, ‘And you have the audacity to stand before us and expect us to confirm you?’

Mr. President, we confirmed him because we knew you must have seen something special in him. You are never wrong when it comes to your judgment of people.

I went into an executive session and told my colleagues, ‘Let us give this young man an opportunity and see what happens.’

And today, I am happy to say that he is one of the best-performing ministers in the cabinet.”

WOW.
