Some Nigerians on social media have blasted the Personal Assistant to the President on New Media, Bashir Ahmad for predicting a victory for his boss in the 2019 presidential election.
Quoting voters’ figures from the six geopolitical zones in the country as released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Ahmad predicted an easy victory for Buhari at the polls.
He tweeted:
The voters registration figures released by INEC as at January 2018.
NW: 18,505,984
SW: 14,626,800
SS: 11,101,093;
NC: 10,586,965;
NE: 9,929,015;
SE: 8,293,093;
And, NW, SW and NE are strongholds of President Muhammadu Buhari. #PMBx2

A President that appointed the dead into his govt, gave the dead an award and has placed the dead on his travel ban list can only be described as lifeless, deluded and out of touch with reality.
The most empty, clueless and failure President that Nigeria has ever had is @MBuhari
