JUST IN: Buhari Brings Back, Promotes Bashir Ahmad
President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed his former Personal Assistant on New Media, Bashir Ahmad, as Special Assistant to the President on Digital Communications.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, confirmed the appointment in a letter of appointment on Sunday addressed to Mr Ahmad, dated 20 July.
Boss Mustapha said the appointment took effect from 19 July.
Mr Ahmad had resigned his previous position as Personal Assistant to the President in line with the presidential directive urging all political office holders wishing to contest elective offices to resign.
The presidential media aide lost his bid to secure the ticket of the All Progressives Congress at the party’s primaries for Gaya, Ajingi, Albasu Federal Constituency.
Mr Ahmad had frowned at the way and manner the party’s primary was conducted, saying it was fraught with fraud.
The presidential social media handler is believed to be the only presidential aide brought back by the president since the conclusion of the APC primaries, Onyxnewsng quotes NAN reporting.
All the cabinet ministers and presidential aides except Mr Ahmad, who resigned to participate in the APC primaries but failed to secure the party tickets, had since been replaced by the president.
Speaking on the promotion, the social commentator told NAN that Mr Ahmad had successfully handled the social media space as Personal Assistant before his resignation.
