Former President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Assistant on Digital Communications, Bashir Ahmad, has expressed pity over the decision of the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi to delete a tweet where he described Bola Tinubu as Mr President.
Bashir described Obi’s actions as low because he can no longer control himself and his opinion.
Obi, who is challenging the declaration of Tinubu, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, as the winner of the last presidential election, had condemned the 120-car convoy of the president when he returned from France, in a tweet.
He had tweeted: “Allegedly showing Mr President moving with about a 120-car convoy. While I have not had the opportunity of seeing the said video, my advice remains consistent – that sacrifices for a better Nigeria must start from the leaders at all levels of government.”
He later deleted the tweet and published a new one that substituted the ‘120-car convoy of ‘Mr President’ with ‘a trending motorcade video’.
Condemning his action, Bashir wrote: “That was so low. I honestly pity Peter, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party; so he no longer has control over himself or an opinion of himself.
How can you delete a well-composed tweet calling your president Mr. President just because some people claiming to be your supporters bullied and dragged you?”
