Umar Bush, the fast-rising Nigerian skit maker, has announced his appointment as the special assistant on entertainment to Mohammed Abba Isa, the senior special assistant to President Bola Tinubu on special needs and equal opportunities.
Bush, also known as “Angry Man”, announced his appointment by sharing a letter with reference number SSAP/SNEO/24/VOL.1/464 on his social media pages on Monday.
The letter, titled “Appointment as Special Assistant on Entertainment”, conveyed the approval of the senior special assistant to the president on special needs and equal opportunities.
According to the letter, as a special assistant on entertainment, Bush is responsible for managing media promotion, ensuring good public relations, and facilitating entertainment initiatives for the office.
“His appointment is set for a two-year term, effective July 10, 2024, with the possibility of renewal based on performance,” it added.
Bush also shared a video capturing the moment Isa congratulated him on his appointment. In another post, he expressed his gratitude for the new role.
“I’m very grateful to this golden opportunity sir.🙏 @hon.mohammed_abba_isa @capt_abber_g,” he wrote.
Isa also took to his Instastory to share a video wherein he lauded Bush, known for his humorous and often controversial content, on the appointment — which has begun to generate intense reactions online.
While some users questioned his qualifications and how he would manage the office’s mandate of special needs and equal opportunities, there were also concerns about why a senior special assistant requires 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

I heard that Umar was given an appointment as a special adviser to Mr. President. I expect VDM to get compared to Umar Bush; he has contributed a lot to society and the youth. @officialABAT

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
