Bosun Tijani, a ministerial nominee from Ogun state, has apologised to senators for calling them “morons” in a 2021 Twitter post.
On Saturday, Tijani, CEO and co-founder of CcHub, appeared before the senate to for screening as a minister.
During the screening, Simon Nwadkon, the senate minority leader, read out a Twitter post credited to Tijani, in which the nominee described senators as “morons”.
In the Twitter post published in 2021, Tijani faulted the mode of screening and confirmation of political appointees by the senate.
“Who conducted a security check on him when he was appointed? What sort of checks are done by @NGRSenate when they confirm appointees. And the media .. question for another day. Until we ask the right questions, these morons will continue to take us for granted,” he wrote on Twitter in 2021.
