Popular Journalist Lambasts Ben Bruce On Twitter

Entertainment guru cum Senator of Bayelsa East Senatorial District, Ben Murray-Bruce has been very active on the social media platform Twitter since he got elected.

Ever since the former Director-General of the Nigerian Television Authority joined Twitter he has been outspoken about political issues in the country, these include pay-cuts for legislators, housing for government officials, and banning of imported products to encourage local enterprise.

Murray-Bruce who claims he is a voice of the people only follows a little over 20 people even though he has over 23,000 followers.

Popular journalist Tolu Ogunlesi this morning called out the senator on twitter for not replying any of the tweets his followers have sent him.

If @benmurraybruce is not going to be ‘engaging’ in any way here then let him go to Hi5. What’s the point? Who’s his social media handler?
