Bashir Ahmad, Special Assistant on Digital Communications to President Muhammadu Buhari, has taunted Peter Obi, Labour Party (LP) Presidential Candidate, over his donation to flood ravaged people in Anambra State recently.

The list of items shown in the photos shared by the presidential candidate are loaves of bread, bags of rice, Indomie noodles, a generator and other items.

“Earlier today, I also visited the flood-ravaged areas of Ogbaru in Anambra State and the IDP Camp in Atani. The infrastructural damage is extensive. In commiserating with the people.

“I promised that my needs assessment visit will help in determining recommendations to Federal and donor agencies on priority recovery projects.

“In continuation of my visits to areas affected by flood, I visited parts of Anambra East and West with stakeholders; Dr Tony Nwoye, and Chief Peter “McPee” Aniekwe. Houses were submerged to the roof levels.

“I’m still wondering why the FGN have not formally declared a flood emergency and intervention modalities,” the former Anambra governor wrote.

Reacting, Ahmad in a tweet on Sunday, mocked Obi for donating such items to the flood victims.

“A former governor and presidential candidate donating a grinding machine and 24 loaves of bread to thousands of flood victims, Comrade, we are in 2022 for God’s sake. We urge you to respect your family and correct it,” he tweeted.

Meanwhile, the presidential aide is currently under fire as a result of his tweet. See below:

@gechife: “Bashir you have 1.3M followers. You could have used your platform to help out the millions of Nigerians rendered homeless and in need of food and supplies. Over 600 dead and yet you are playing politics. Again we are open to receive your donations. #NigeriaFloods”

@andyRoidO: “Emphasizing “a former Governor” shows you that Bashir sees the Government as an avenue for theft.
Unsurprising, since he fraudulently kept drawing a Government salary after leaving Government.”

@igweOdyssey: “Having low IQ is a minimum compulsory requirement for being a Tinubu and APC supporter and Bashir’s tweet has reinforced that theory. Peter Obi is their nightmare.”

@Scizo4real: “How much has buhari done for his daura people Bashir? You are nothing but a foolish boy!”
