...If he did, he was awfully quiet in the face of the monumental corruption taking place in that period.

Anyone know when he set up the Twitter account?

Because, then he was silent.

Why?

He had no ''common sense'' then?

When was Ben Bruce elected a senator?
How come same plebs who criticised GEJ lost their voice as soon as the tyrant won?
How many of our so-called Progressives have come out to denounce the Budget of corruption?
Ben Murray Bruce is an opposition politician, he was voted in to oppose wrong policies.

Has El Rufai gone dumb on his facebook since Bubu won election?? you people can ask useless questions sometimes... smh

He was busy with his business so having a lot to think about but now he is a senator with little or no job.

Since when did one need to become a senator to post on Twitter?

He has been a long time personal friend of GEJ so he had direct access to the president and could pass his points directly to him without making noise and believe me, Ben is no sycophant

Now he's an opposition senator whose duty is to keep the govt of the day on their toes and he's doing a damn good job of it.
The Buhari led govt also makes it easy to be criticized with their utter non-preparedness for governance almost a year after winning.
How many of you guys who criticize Ben even know your own Senators or interact with them, Since he was elected, he has never missed a single plenary or committee hearing despite running the nation's largest entertainment group and he has communicated his ideas not just to his constituents but the whole country. He's pretty smart and is building a profile that would serve him well in the future.
Simply put, not everyone can be cheerleaders of AGIP like you wish.

We know bruce is a coward

Jonathan's tenure was excellent when compared to the present administration.. Anybody who doesnt speak up against this dictator they call buhari is a coward and shouldn't make comments on national issues henceforth

How come Femi Aribisala's tweets don't make headlines? Have you seen his tweets?
BMB needed that elevated position of being a senator for his tweets to be taken seriously, it's obvious.

I have asked that same question a number of times.

This makes no sense. The type of campaigns he's been on lately are populist issues directed at the masses, not issues you ''whisper in the president's ear''. Take the 'buyNaija' stuff for instance. Why didn't he have the same 'face the people' approach during Jonathan's rule, via Twitter? Or was it Jonathan that would have bought all of Innoson's vehices by himself?

Don't mind him, he is wasting his time.
When pop corn becomes 50 naira per cup at the silverbird galleria, I will begin to take the fake advocate of the masses serious.

You don't expect ElRufai or Tinubu no matter their grouses to start tweeting or writing articles when they have Buhari's ear, same goes for Ben. El Rufai used to tweet actively when he was in the opposition and kept a weekly column where he propounded his ideas till his clash with the late Gen Azazi. Now he barely tweets because he doesn't need to, there are channels through which he can make his point.
Even during GEJ's administration, he had been semi vocal about this issues, I do remember during the 25th anniversary gala of Silverbird which Jonathan attended, he gave a well received speech on some of these issues he is championing about, he also kept an intermittent column in Thisday where he wrote about his ideas occasionally. The only difference is now he gets visibility as an opposition senator active on social media. Ben Bruce has always been a pragmatist and a populist even in his failed 2012 gubernatorial run in Bayelsa.

ok... so he had a Twitter account, but it was inactive...?

Or did he just open one after his party lost the election?

^^^^^

He has but was in hibernation mode then, cos of his busy schedule and now that he no longer hustle like before cos he only sit to collect money his account came active.

There's nothing wrong with ben bruces common sense revolution however it should be done with less hipocracy

A few months ago en Bruce was telling us to buy electric cars, he showed pictures of the electric car he bought he took it to Eko hotel brought it to abuja and drove it to national assembly!

5months down the line he is taking delivery of innoson vehicles and ordering bullet proof ones within 90days!

Well the average nigerian can't change cars in 6months talk less of buying an electric car or an innoson car,

No one is talking about banks giving loans to buy this innoson vehicles,since he is a populist senator why are they not advocating easier stable means of financing for vehicles why are they not canvassing for more funds to increase the capacity of production for innoson?

LFMAO!!!!!

Idiots telling themselves lies and believing same...


the supposedly opposition senator cldnt ask one question during the budget defence!!!!



the mofo was all over fashola on twitter and he couldn't chirp like he used to do on twitter when the ministers were defending!!!


what an opposition!!!

I guess you guys dnt really come active where it really matters!!!!

His common sense no tell him say no be twitter the Senate house dey?

one opportunity to show him worth, he chickened!!!!

Why does he show far more passion on Twitter than he ever does on the floor of the National Assembly? Anyone know?

I guess it was GEJ that inspired him to order for common sense, but the thing came late. But he has decided not to waste it. That's why it's active now.

He lacked common sense back then since he was part of the rot and decay. It's like bitting the hands that feeds you..
