President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Assistant on Digital Communications, Bashir Ahmad has drawn the ire of supporters of the presidential candidate of the Labour party, (LP) Peter Obi after using a recent photo of the LP candidate on social media.
Popularly known as Obidients, the supporters of the former Anambra governor slammed Ahmad after he took to his verified Twitter handle to share a photo of Peter Obi praying the Islamic way during his campaign tour in Sokoto State.
The presidential aide had shared photos of Peter Obi at the palace of the Sultan of Sokoto praying the Islamic way with his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed and some members of the 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 reasons;
