Netizens react as Tinubu’s SSA appoint ‘angry’ skitmaker, Umar Bush as his own SA

The internet has been buzzing after it was discovered that the Senior Special Assistant to the President On Special Needs and Equal Opportunities, Mohammed Abba Isa, has appointed Alhaji Umar Bush, an Hausa skit maker known for his ‘anger’ and hurling insults at people, as his own Special Assistant.
According to the letter of appointment from the SSA to Bush who is also known as ‘Angry Bird’, he is tasked with managing media promotion, ensure good public relation, and facilitate entertainment initiatives for Isa’s office.
The appointment which is for two years with effect from July 10, 2024, is renewable upon satisfactory performance for another term.
But the appointment of Bush has not gone down well with some social media users who think it is a misplaced priority and a needless and impulsive appointment.
Those in this school of thought are of the opinion that Bush’s skits where he practically lays out curses on people, believe he has not added anything of importance to the society.
A user on X with the handle @el_bonga, in a post, said:
“Umar Bush whose major hallmark is raining curses online is appointed SA on Entertainment while Khalifa Aminu who invents technology to help the blind walk without sticks and automatic spray plant for farmers is ignored.

In all the things we’re going through in this country, someone raining insults on people but it’s him these guys are busy promoting, they left Aminu and his inventions and they’re busy promoting nonsense.”

“Nigerians and misplaced priorities
Khalifa Aminu is a young student who invented a glasses that gives vision to blind people, UK newspaper published his talented work but Nigerian government doesn’t care about his innovation
Umar Bush who suppose to be in special cares for his mental stability was in the villa but Khalifa never left Kano. Very sad
I remember the time when the National Commission of Persons With Disabilities @NcpwdOfficial invited.” Khalifa to Abuja but unable to attend due to NLC strike.
