The Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has been condemned by the former President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Assistant on Digital Communications, Bashir Ahmad, for deleting a tweet where he described Bola Tinubu as Mr President.
Ahmad said he pities the Labour Party presidential candidate, describing his actions as childish and 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’.
Bashir, who condemned the action, 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?”
