Buhari’s Media Aide Resigns, Picks Up House Of Reps Form
Bashir Ahmad, President Muhammadu Buhari’s Personal Assistant on New Media and Digital Communications, has resigned his position as a result of his principal’s instruction that all aides, including members of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) seeking elected offices, leave.
Ahmad, who chose the All Progressives Congress (APC) nomination and expression of interest forms for the House of Representatives, wants to represent Gaya, Ajingi, and Albasu in the Lower Chamber.
The bio “Personal Assistant on New Media to @MBuhari, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria” was reportedly removed from Ahmad’s Twitter profile.
He currently describes himself as a “Digital Communication Enthusiast.”
Ahmad is to challenge the incumbent occupier of the seat, Mahmoud Abdullahi Gaya, who is also of the ruling APC.
He is considered one of the youngest aides of Buhari having been appointed at 24.
Days ago, he shared some pictures holding forms.
He tweeted, “Just completed filling my part of the form and the rest will be done by my constituents, the good people of Gaya, Ajingi, and Albasu LGs in Kano, whom I will by God’s grace be representing in the House of Representatives. May Allah (SWT) grant us VICTORY!”
