“We’ve got a long way to go if BBNaija stars are getting political appointments” – Nigerian lecturer slams the Governor of Bayelsa state

One Nigerian lecturer identified as Dipo Awojide, has taken to social media to condemn the recent appointments of ex-BBNaija housemates into political offices.

It could be recalled that on Friday, 6th November, 2020, the Governor of Bayelsa state, Duoye Diri, appointed two of the 2020 BBNaija 5th edition ex-housemates, TrikyTee and Nengi as his Senior Special Assistants.

Now, reacting to the development, Dipo Awojide disclosed that such appointments show that Nigeria as a nation still have a long way to go.

Laying emphasis on credibility, he particularly queried the qualification and competence of the appointed reality stars.

The lecturer furthermore blasted the Bayelsa Sate governor for appointing the reality Tv stars when he has been owing salaries of workers.

In his words, 

“I like many of these BBNaija folks but I don’t know why many of you are celebrating state governments dishing out Senior Special Assistant appointments. SSA on what exactly? And why?

Do these reality tv stars have the qualification and competence? We’ve got a long long way to go. You fucking can’t pay salaries! But you’re spending public money like a drug dealer!”
