President Bola Tinubu has revealed that his decision to appoint Bosun Tijani as the Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, despite the latter’s past criticisms, reflects his belief in recognising talent, even in those who have once been vocal critics.
The President made the statement on Saturday night during a special Iftar held in his honour at the Presidential Villa, marking his 73rd birthday.
In a heartfelt address, Tijani, who was appointed as a minister despite his activism and prior criticisms of the President and the National Assembly, shared the personal experience of his appointment.
