Personal Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on New Media and Digital Communications, Bashir Ahmad has resigned to vie for the House of Representatives seat.
Gatekeepers News reports that Ahmad’s resignation followed his principal’s directive that all political appointees seeking to vie for elective positions must resign.
Ahmad, who submitted his nomination and expression of interest forms to the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday, is seeking to represent Gaya, Ajingi, and Albasu in the House of Representatives.
Gatekeepers News can confirm on Wednesday evening that Ahmad has removed the bio “Personal Assistant on New Media to @MBuhari, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria” from his profile on Twitter.
He currently claims to be a ‘Digital Communication Enthusiast’.
