What the viral post said
The resurfaced post read:
“Wale Edun was asked to resign because Tinubu allegedly felt betrayed and disappointed when he found out something, it has nothing to do with his performance in office. He doesn’t operate anymore as a minister, he’s just there as a figure head.”
The timing of the post has sparked renewed debate online. Many users are revisiting the claim, questioning whether it was speculation, insider knowledge, or simply coincidence. The mention of betrayal and disappointment has added fuel to discussions about political loyalty and internal tensions.
It is worth noting that the presidency officially revealed why President Bola Tinubu removed Wale Edun, Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, along with Umar Dangiwa, Minister of Housing and Urban Development.
According to Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) George Akume:
“These changes are aimed at strengthening cohesion, synergy in governance as well as achieving more impactful delivery on the economy to Nigerians, through the Renewed Hope Agenda.”
Akume stressed that the President acted fully within his constitutional powers under Sections 147 and 148 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1999, as amended).
Public reaction on social media
Social media users have been quick to share and comment on the resurfaced post. Some argue that it highlights the unpredictability of political appointments, while others see it as an example of how rumours can gain traction over time.
The resurfacing of this old X post has reignited conversations about Nigeria’s political landscape. While the claim remains unverified, its circulation shows how past social media content can resurface and shape public debate long after it was first posted.
