Tijani, in the tweet, declared that Buhari is not qualified to lead a nation like Nigeria. Tinubu, Buhari and Ahmed are all chieftains of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Ogun-born technocrat had written on April 19, 2020:
“The honest men and women around Buhari should help us understand why they will give their lives for a sick and disconnected man to rule Nigeria. At all cost. Please explain how Buhari is qualified to lead a nation like Nigeria. Please help us understand.”
Quote-tweeting the post on Thursday, August 3, 2023, Ahmad wrote:
“Congratulations and welcome onboard the healthiest, connected, and qualified one. I hope the President will assign at least 2/3 of the ministries for you since you already know the button that needs to be pressed to get everything fixed in this country. I am optimistic that all our lingering challenges will be addressed the minute you are inaugurated as the Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
Other internet users shared their views after sighting the old tweet.
