The President, Muhammadu Buhari, has
appointed his former Personal Assistant on New Media, Bashir Ahmad, as Special
Assistant to the President on Digital Communications.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss
Mustapha, confirmed the appointment in a letter of appointment addressed to
Ahmad, dated July 20, 2022.
According to Mustapha, the appointment took effect from July
19, 2022.
The appointment came about two months after the presidential
media aide failed to secure the All Progressives Congress’ Federal House of
Representatives ticket for Gaya, Ajingi, Albasu Federal Constituency at the May
2022 primaries.
Ahmad had resigned his previous position as Personal
Assistant to the President in line with President Buhari’s directive that all
political appointees seeking electoral offices step down.
Ahmad who has been spotted several times at the State House
by our correspondent is considered to be the only presidential aide ‘recalled’
by the president since the conclusion of the APC primaries.
All cabinet members and presidential aides who resigned to
contest for various electoral offices in the APC but failed to secure the
tickets were not reinstated.
