Re: Toni Kan Declines Appointment As Sadiya Umar Farouq's Spokesman by SaintLucia:
He accepted the appointment, na when people begin to bash him GBA GBO and called him hungry activist looking for appointment like those before him and that was when he rejected the appointment, though he was even sacked before he rejected the appointment. This shows that most of them are stomach activist.

Unfortunately, ours is a system that does not practice participatory democracy-just the winner-takes-all mentality.OBJ & Jonathan appointed critics into govt even non-party members but with the APC, it's a no, no.
Please mention those critics they appointed

But for the outcry on twitter, I feel he woulve accepted the appointment.
His refusal was forced on him, refusing anyway is still fine.

[i]What do I know[i/]
He accepted the appointment n even defended those fighting him for accepting it.

Internet no good abeg. People go remember your old posts wey even you don forget when you write am.

I don tire for people. Nobody seems to know the meaning of "at the behest of" the minister. Or they just ignore or even just want yo believe what suits their narrative.

The minister actually asked him to decline the offer because of the outcry, especially within the APC.

Smh.

This is an idiotic stance to have, and a major reason why governance is so useless in Africa.

Idiotic.

Just one example.am not a fan of APC nor PDP they are just the same, but you don't have to be speaking from both sides of your mouth because you want to eat, you have to stand for what you speak for, or has Buhari Administration change in its way of policy and implementations?
No.

No problem ..You shouldn't have even elected to get appointed by the Buhari govt in the first place ..
Wtf do u mean by he should not have elected to be appointed? Is it an elective position? He got appointed and declined dude. He has right to accept or not and he rightly declined to be part of this confused government. I dont know the dude but any sound person will decline or u will just be converted to a lying scum.. Ask Femi

Please don't do business with this fraudster named MORRAY abi MUMU. don't even think of meeting him anywhere so he won't rob or kill you just because of iPhone also don't buy any phone from him because all he does is to go about picking scrap phones then resell them with new casings and you will be moving about with a dead phone that will rip you off with faults.
Pls don't throw away your money with your eyes widely opened.

Wow! Tony Kanayo has really come a long way..
I always looked forward to reading his articles in Hearts Magazine..

I remember meeting him and his journalists colleagues like Jerry Sawyerr, Yetunde Oduwole ( Bustline) and their boss, Kayode Ajala when they all wrote for Hearts Magazine...

Very funny, lovely and brilliant..

He deserves to be successful..

He saved his integrity by not accepting the appointment.

Meanwhile, Femi Adeshina has soiled his intergrity working for Buhari.

Who’s famous now?
So ur so called Toni is more famous than Adeshina? You need medical examination.

We shouldn't always be party-centric else neither APC nor PDP has been able to steer the boat of this nation amidst the storm to the shores. We should be concerned about the credibility of the person occupying leadership positions. If we go by party affiliation to make judgement then we're biased.
Therefore, let's be personality-centric nor party-centric.

I wonder what we want in this country. Everyday we keep shouting no young guy in the fore front of the government yet when one is about being appointed, s/he gets shot down by the same people clamoring for inclusion. Ar taya sef

I get your point, but on the flip-side, why choose to serve outside of your own personal convictions? Its like saying you oppose Trump and everything he stands for, and yet you take up an appointment with his government.

He is smart not to accept their witch craft offer. The worst is to join band of thieves. Toni Kan is still one of the best authors in Nigeria. He is been there

Even in bad times, the actions of some men inspire confidence in commendable deeds. Weldone Mr Kan, your column in Hints back then shaped my interests in writing.

Most opposition critics are just looking for jobs. The minister did the right thing to have rescinded his appointment.

He accepted the appointment until Buharists moved against him. He even waged a campaign on Twitter through the #whoisafraidoftonikan ash tag in a desperate bid to keep the job. He was forced out by APC supporters on Twitter.

Stop deceiving yourself. He accepted the job and campaigned desperately to keep it when Buharist on twitter moved against him. He was forced to resign.
