The Special Assistant to the President on digital communication, Hon. Bashir Ahmad is being criticized by the supporters of Labour Party’s presidential candidate Peter Obi over his flashback comment on Obi’s administration as Governor of Anambra State.
Ahmad tweeted on his verified twitter handle @BashirAhmaad that Peter Obi’s treatment of Labour Party and other opposition parties in the state during his reign can never be forgotten. Ruthless, undemocratic and unacceptable.
What Peter Obi did to Labour Party and other opposition parties in Anambra when he was in power will never be forgotten. Ruthless, undemocratic, and unacceptable. We condemned it then, and now we are teaming up with Nigerians to make sure such atrocities never happen ever again.

The tweet received immediate reactions and comments from Nigerians, with some supporting his views while majority of others believed to be OBIdients sees it as a verbal attack on their candidate. Notable amongst the comments were the ones tweeted by @Obongowoibesik1 saying:
“Bashir you came late to the party. A lot of receipts abound here on Twitter on what transpired and how it went down. This is 2023, we won’t watch you cook propaganda like this was 2015.”

“But this can be forgotten right🙄😏 you dey ment before naa”
the most igniting one was tweeted by @itieubong:
“Sha he stole money and EFCC have his dossier? He was taken to court and he was able to negotiate his way out? Don’t vote PO we understand but stop throwing dirty on him otherwise people will throw so much dirty on you that you will not know where to start from other than to cry.”
