| Twitter Spat: Amaechi and Ben Bruce spar on Twitter |
Ben-murray Bruce, a ]Nigeria’s serving member of the Nigerian senate and Rotimi Amaechi, the Nigeria's Minister of Transport on Sunday engaged in a twitter spat over Buhari's criminalisation of Nigerians.
Reacting to Buhari's recent comment in the UK where he stated that Nigerians are criminals, Bruce condemned the Buhari’s comments, writing: “Your own minister spent ₦80 million on a one day dinner, yet it is your citizens you accuse of being criminals #IAmANigerianNotACriminal”.
Sensing that Bruce was mocking him with his tweet, Amaechi responded to the tweet, accusing Bruce of being a coward.
“A coward who is not bold enough to name the minister that he alleged criminally spent N80M on dinner is unfit to sit in our senate chambers,” he said.
In response the Senator responded to Mr. Amaechi by referring to the recent Supreme Court judgment that upheld the election of Nyesom Wike as governor, thereby, stifling the hope of the APC candidate and Mr. Amaechi’s ally, Dakuku Peterside.
“When you have been Wike’d, you become wicked! But you will always be my beloved brother, no matter how much you transfer the anger on me.”
Amaechi retorted that the Bayelsa-born senator only found his voice on twitter while he is hardly seen contributing to debates in the Senate.
“I will not respond to innuendos. Be courageous, name the minister. We know you talk here & do ‘siddon’ look where you are elected to talk,” he said.
