Bihari’s aid, Bashir Ahmad
Bashir Ahmad, Special Assistant on Digital Communications to former President Muhammadu Buhari, expressed his disappointment over the decision of Peter Obi, the Labour Party's presidential candidate, to delete a tweet where he referred to Bola Tinubu as "Mr President." Bashir criticised Obi's actions, considering them as a sign that he can no longer control himself or express his opinion.

Obi had initially condemned the 120-car convoy of the president upon his return from France in a tweet. He stated, "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." However, he later deleted the tweet and replaced it with a new one that referred to "a trending motorcade video" instead of the "120-car convoy of 'Mr President.'"

Expressing his disapproval, Bashir wrote, "That was so low. I honestly pity Peter, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party; it seems 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?"

The incident highlights the tension and political sensitivities surrounding the presidential election and the dynamics between candidates and their supporters. It also underscores the challenges politicians face in maintaining consistency in their public statements while navigating the pressures of political discourse and public opinion.
