Buhari's aide Bashir Ahmad mocks Peter Obi over relief items; Nigerians react

Peter Obi and Bashir Ahmad

The Special Adviser to President Buhari on New Media, Bashir Ahmad, has taken to social media to mock Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party.

Taking to his Twitter page, Ahmad queried Peter Obi over the relief items he allegedly presented to flood victims in Anambra state on Saturday, October 22.

It was reported that Peter Obi, who was the former governor of the state paid a visit to the flooded area to commiserate with the victims.

Reacting to his visit, Ahmad shared a tweet indicating that Peter Obi had donated some items which he believe was meagre.

Bashir wrote;

"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."

Some Nigerians however, condemned Ahmad for ridiculing the said items donated to the flood victims as they question his principal's effort in cushioning the situations for affected persons.

Unfortunately for you Mallam, PO doesn't move about with food items or any goods at all, except his good heart.

He donates money. Clean, legally made money.

However, they were donated by individuals like you and I from the Obidient family extraction.

LET'S SAY NO TO DRUGS.

Lies. But that aside, peter obi made his money through hardwork and entretreneurship. While tinubu made his through drugs and milking Lagos state dry.

Yes, he donated that Bashir.

You earn 1m+ monthly as a Presidential aide, what has been your impact?

You ridicule another man's gesture when you who could do something didn't?

What about your Principal? Where's he and his effort in all of this?

You're shameless Bashir!
