Bashir Ahmad said in a statement posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, that he has been criticizing the President and his administration ever since Peter Obi lost the election the previous year, but the President has never replied to any of his remarks.

He compared this to the case of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in last year’s election, Atiku Abubakar. He said that Atiku Abubakar has been receiving responses consistently from the Presidency.
He concluded by drawing parallels between the two men, saying that there are different levels of engagements playing out.
