The Director and Co-founder of BudgIT, Mr Seun Onigbinde, has denied deleting his Twitter account following his appointment by the President Muhammadu Buhari led government, Igbere TV reports.

Igbere TV had reported on Friday that Mr Onigbinde was appointed by the federal government as a Technical Adviser at the Ministry of Budget and National Planning, in Abuja.

The data analyst, who often criticised the Buhari administration, deactivated his Twitter account after some users reacted negatively to the appointment, saying such was not expected of the BudgIT co-founder.

But reacting 24 hours after he reactivated his account, Onigbinde said he did not deactivate the handle due to the criticism, saying he was only out of data.

In a tweet sighted by Igbere TV on Saturday, the BudgIT boss wrote;

“The truth is I didn't deactivate/delete my account because of the advisory role. Those who follow me keenly know that I do sometimes to declutter & focus.

“I didn't know yesterday morning would be the day. But, I knew it would come.

“I am also glad that I wasn't online. I ran of airtime & Data. Maybe if I read everything, I would have lost my emotional balance.

“I am grateful in all things. I pray to do my best & not undermine the values I mentioned in my note.

“If my tweets hurt you, I am sorry.

“Everything said had a context that was also packed with emotions and expectations.

“May the Lord make it easy. May our voice be strong.”

true talk

Nigerians sha. Like if they were the ones, they would decline.

OK oo

For over 24hrs? Your own lie wan pass Minister liar Mohammed

Data?

Smiles... Another Lia in making.. you ran out of data too cheap

This is why we can't have a successful revolution in this country.

The people that are supposed to lead are even hungrier than us

Son of perdition

then buy another data na.

Data? You didn't run of data when you were criticizing the government . Guys he deactivated his account to restrategize his lies. 'ofe mmanu' backstabber.


PS: guys Seun has done something to NL oh. When I typed 'Ofe mmanu' jointly, what appeared on the comment after I submitted was 'Yoruba'. Try it.

Hey... we are in trouble in this country. People don't even understand writeups anymore.

OP, he didn't say he didn't delete his account. He actually acknowledged deleting his account. The bone of contention here is why he did so. He's claiming it has nothing to do with his new role but rather a routine task he normally carries out as a way of "decluttering & focusing" (whatever he meant by that).

He then added that he was also glad that he wasn't online when people were calling him out else he might have lost his peace. This is where he mentioned not having data as the reason for his absence online. One would think this is clearly written up there.

Even though I don't believe him, we should, at least, quote him right. His account was clearly deleted and a new one created, he wouldn't be so stupid to attribute that to unavailability of data nah...

Nawa o

....hb

You ran out of data? I think say dem dey warn before data go finish? The way Una dey use our future play eeee SMH.

BugIT has already joined the lying crew....lolzzzz
Nothing like activism in Nigeria, they are all after their pocket.

The only activist I dare say to have seen with impeccable character is Nnamdi kanu.......if you have any against him prove it or remain silent.

The rest are hustlers.....name them Sowore, Adeyanju, Charley boy, Wole soyinka, Uwazuruike, Saro Wiwa, Pat utomi....Aisha yesufu, Oby Ezekwesili, and many more

They are all hustlers.

Dude hasn't even spent a week in the role and he's already telling lies.

I searched for his Twitter account yesterday and it was nonexistent. People even shared screenshots of his deactivated account on the same Twitter.

So what is he saying?

Or is he trying to say that Twitter accounts now auto-delete when the owner runs out of data?

Seems like he already borrowed some pages from Lai Mohammed's book of lies.

This is a just the tip of what is to come.

Shame on you.
