Flood: Buhari’s Aide Reacts As Peter Obi Donates 24 Loaves Of Bread, Indomie & More

Bashir Ahmad, President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Assistant on Digital Communications, has taken to social media to mock the Labour Party’s (LP) Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, for his recent donation to flood victims in Anambra State.

WITHIN NIGERIA has learned that Obi used his verified Twitter account earlier to publicize some items he donated to flood victims in the Ogbaru areas of Anambra, where he was a former Governor.

Loaves of bread, bags of rice, Indomie noodles, a generator, and other items are among the items shown in the presidential candidate’s photos.

Earlier today, I also visited the flood-ravaged areas of Ogbaru in Anambra State and the IDP Camp in Atani. The infrastructural damage is extensive. In commiserating with the people.

I promised that my needs assessment visit will help in determining recommendations to Federal and donor agencies on priority recovery projects.

In continuation of my visits to areas affected by flood, I visited parts of Anambra East and West with stakeholders; Dr Tony Nwoye, and Chief Peter “McPee” Aniekwe. Houses were submerged to the roof levels I’m still wondering why the FGN have not formally declared a flood emergency and intervention modalities, Peter Obi tweeted.

In a different post on his personal social media account, Ahmad mocked the presidential candidate for donating such items to the flood victims.

He tweeted: 

Wow. Four bags of rice, 14 cartons of Indomie noodles, around 50 set of blankets, 24 loaves of bread, a generator among other unverified stuff donated to thousands of families affected by floods in Anambra by a former governor of the state and a current presidential candidate.
