In 2016 Even Politicians Send Social Media Subs – Rotimi Amaechi & Ben Murray-Bruce’s Battle

We are officially starting a hashtag – #NoChill2016.

From musicians to actors, this year started off with social media beefs ‘back to back’ and now it’s spread to politics!

Okay, a little background. When Senator Ben Murray-Bruce slammed President Buhari‘s Telegraph UK interview this weekend, he mentioned that a minister spent 80 Million Naira on a party, but did not mention who it was. This was the tweet in question:

Your own minister spent ₦80 million on a one day dinner, yet it is your citizens you accuse of being criminals #IAmANigerianNotACriminal

As there are only 36 ministers in Buhari’s cabinet, Minister Rotimi Amaechi (former governor of Rivers state) felt offended and has clapped back at the media mogul and Senator.

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

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

We shall be waiting for a response from the Senator, as he doesn’t seem like one to back down from his claims.
