Bashir Ahmad, President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Assistant on Digital Communications, has enraged supporters of the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, by using a recent photo of the LP candidate on social media.
Obidients, or supporters of the former Anambra governor, slammed Ahmad after he shared a photo of Peter Obi praying the Islamic way during his campaign tour in Sokoto State on his verified Twitter handle.
The presidential aide had shared photos of Peter Obi praying in the Sultan of Sokoto’s palace with his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, and some party chieftains.
Sharing photos the LP candidate, Ahmad wrote:
May Almighty Allah accept your prayers to give us Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as our next President, Peter. Ameeen!
The presidential aide, however, came under attack by Obidients who asked that he concentrates on his own candidate rather than obsessing with the LP candidate.
Below are some of the reactions;
