Reactions: What goes around comes around
Some Nigerians defend him, while others attack him. Let’s have a look at some of the comments.
@addons:But you’re now appointed under the same man you put in to total condemnation.
@Taye:The same Tinubu wanted you to reap where you did not sow. You all just hate him because others do. It’s well. Just apologize openly and go to the Senate for your screening. Ire o!
@kemi:He is a coward!
@musa:Now a healthy, competent and connected Bosun Tijani has been confirmed as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Let’s see how the earlier mentioned will make you a better person and a different leader. Let’s see then…
@dipo:You might dislike Bosun Tijani but he has proved himself in the last 10 years. It is also a credit to Bola Ahmed Tinubu that he can appoint as Minister someone who has criticised him in the past.
