Bashir Ahmad, Personal Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on New Media has denied claims that he got an appointment into an arm of the Nigerian National petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
News filtered out this morning that he was secretly appointed to head the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR).
The 29-year old Bashir Ahmad took to his confirmed Twitter handle to refute the claims:
Bashir Ahmad@BashirAhmaad· “A friend sent me a link to a concocted story from an online news blog that the President has quietly appointed me as a manager of the DPR, a department of Ministry of Petroleum Resources, for those who want to know the truth, the story is 100% FALSE. I am not a staff of the DPR.
Anger greeted the alleged appointment when the news broke with some people insisting that Ahmad is not qualified for the job:
Gbenga ‘Gold’ Olorunpomi@GbengaGOLD “Until the Presidency come out to publicly deny this, I will assume it is 100% true. And, I am completely and utterly ashamed that, again, this administration is showing the country and the party complete disrespect. The Bashir I know is grossly unqualified for this job. Rubbish!”
Ahmad, on his part says he knows nothing about the appointment and does not even know where the Department of Petroleum Resources office is located:
Bashir Ahmad@BashirAhmaad “Calm down brother Gbenga, the story is 100% NOT true. To tell you the truth, I don’t even know where DPR office is, the only thing I know it is in Lagos. That’s all.”
