Umar Bush, a young Nigerian comedian, has been appointed as Mohammed Abba Isa’s special assistant on entertainment, reporting to President Bola Tinubu’s senior special assistant on special needs and equal opportunities.
Bush, also known as “Angry Man”, announced his appointment by uploading a letter with reference number SSAP/SNEO/24/VOL.1/464 on his social media networks on Monday.
The letter, titled “Appointment as Special Assistant on Entertainment”, delivered the senior special assistant’s consent to the president on special needs and equal opportunities.
According to the letter, Bush’s responsibilities as a special assistant for entertainment include coordinating media promotion, guaranteeing strong public relations, and promoting workplace entertainment projects.
“His appointment is set for a two-year term, effective July 10, 2024, with the possibility of renewal based on performance,” it added.
Bush uploaded a video of the moment Isa congratulated him on his appointment. In another message, he expressed gratitude for his new role.
“I’m very grateful to this golden opportunity sir.
@hon.mohammed_abba_isa @capt_abber_g,” he wrote.
Isa shared a video on Instagram congratulating Bush, known for his amusing and controversial content, on his appointment, which has sparked strong emotions.
While some users questioned his skills and how he would handle the office’s mandate of special needs and equal chances, others wondered why a senior special assistant needed an assistant.

You are absolutely correct 💯. Umar Bush is being celebrated for vulgar than our budding inventors, entrepreneurs, farmers etc that are potential employers of labour and improving our GDP. Retrogressive actions.

Firstly I would like to commend the president on that, Nigerians are truly grateful.
But it's so pathetic to give someone like Umar bush an appointment, regardless of many people out there that are more suited for the job.— Amb Ingawa (@Heisnooh) July 16, 2024
Umar Bush's appointment is not about hate, bt it’s troubling to see someone with no degree and a history of controversy chosen as SA for entertainment. With so many talented nd qualified individuals seeking such opportunities, this decision seems to undermine merit and hard work.

If the news I'm reading about the appointment of Umar Bush as SSA to the President on entertainment nonsense is true, then we have a long way to go as a country. It's another proof that our leaders have no focus- they don't even care about the plight of the common man.

If that SSA was running his own private business, would he employ Umar Bush???? He would never!!!
But he can be employed to increase Nigeria's wage bill.We can not be taken seriously as a country!

Umar Bush is now SA to the SSA.
Nigeria and Nigerians are not focusing on the right things!🤦🏾♂️How do people who love politics feel about this? Someone famous for being easily angered and insulting others like crazy gets the government attention.

Umar Bush whose major hallmark is raining curses online is appointed SA on Entertainment while Khalifa Aminu who invents technology to help the blind walk without sticks and automatic spray plant for farmers is ignored. Our society rewards mediocrity over creativity/innovations. pic.twitter.com/QOfMxkCbtY
