Multiple award-winning actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde and Personal Assistant to President Buhari on New Media, Bashir Ahmad on Tuesday tackled each other over the socio-economic conditions of the country.
In a viral comment on Twitter, Omotola had described the condition of the country under President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as “hellish”.
She specifically lamented that there was no “money in circulation”.
Omotola, who is popularly called Omosexy, tweeted on Monday:
The Country Under your watch is Hellish! @ProfOsinbajo @MBuhari @NGRPresident The lack of Money in circulation,Now coupled with the Continuous Assault n Killings by Uniformed men’ll make this Country implode!!!It’s Unbearable! Do something!Insecurity!Fear n Desperation everywhere

Replying, Ahmad highlighted some of the achievements of the Buhari/Osinbajo administration geared towards improving the living conditions of the citizenry.
Furthermore, he said that no one earning “clean money” should have any cause to complain under the current administration.
He tweeted:
Madam Omotola those who are working for CLEAN money are not complaining and will never refer our dear country as ‘hellish’. In Kano State alone, from 2015 to 2018, no fewer than 200 medium and small scale rice milling centres emerged. For that, billions circulated among millions. https://t.co/nWprKIgpLC

Reacting to Ahmad’s comment, Omotola wondered why the presidential aide could not spot the challenges Nigerians were facing under the Buhari administration.
She equally cautioned Ahmad against impugning her character by suggesting that she was not earning “clean money”.
She tweeted:
As long as you're not insinuating that I am not working CLEAN for my money… I hear you. Its good that there are some progress… Do you truly want to say you dont see all that's really wrong? Can we fight for our future in truth for once? Without being partisan?
