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.”
