Senator Ben Bruce, Amaechi, Japhet Omojuwa In Twitter War: SEE How It All Happened

The minister for transportation and former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, Senator representing Bayelsa East, Ben Murray-Bruce and a popular blogger, Japhet Omojuwa, today engaged each other in twitter jibes over political and personal differences. INFORMATION NIGERIA has put together the step by step of how the fight played out…

1. It all started when Omojuwa tweeted ”The reason I will NEVER take people like Ben Bruce serious is because when they saw a leader (GEJ) do wrong, they kept quiet. Don’t be Bruce”.

2. Bruce replied by tweeting ‘You’ve left Trump to face me? Wake me up the day people start dying because you refused to take them seriously.”

3. Senator Ben Bruce then fired another tweet, this time targeting Amaechi, who was alleged to have spent about N82 million on a dinner. The tweet was reference to a statement credited to President Muhammadu Buhari that Nigerians were not welcome in the United Kingdom because of the criminal activities some Nigerians engaged in over there. He tweeted. ”Your own minister spent ₦80 million on a one day dinner, yet it is your citizens you accuse of being criminal”
4. Amaechi blasted the senator for not being bold enough to mention the name of the minister in his tweet. ”“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,” he tweeted.
5. Bruce came back with another tweet to mock the minister. He referred to the recent Supreme Court judgment that upheld the election of Nyesom Wike as governor. He tweeted ”When you have been Wike’d, you become wicked! But you will always be my beloved brother, no matter how much you transfer the anger on me”.
6. Amaechi responded with a tweet of his own, accusing the minister of being active only on Twitter and not on the floor of the Senate. He tweeted ”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”
