Bashir Ahmed, Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari, has come under heavy fire on social media after saying that the ongoing construction of the Second Niger Bridge would be a gift to Nigerians when completed.
The bridge which crosses the Niger River between the cities of Asaba in the west and Onitsha in the east, was initiated by the former President Goodluck Jonathan, but the project is being constructed by the Buhari-led administration with Nigerian funds.
In a tweet on Sunday, Bashir Ahmed said when the second Niger Bridge is completed, it will be a ‘gift’ that will keep President Buhari in the minds of millions Nigerians for a very long time.
Many Nigerians who disagreed with him are currently dragging him on Twitter for taking a project done with public funds to promote the goodwill of his boss.
