An aide to former President Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmad, has slammed former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, for breaking fast with Muslims claiming that Obi never did when he was governor.
Obi, who had contested for president under Labour Party in 2023 but lost to Bola Tinubu participated in the Ramadan fast-breaking (Iftar) with Muslims in Nasarawa State.
In a video on social media, Obi was showcased seating in a mosque, engaging in the Iftar ritual, which marks the end of the daily fast during the holy month of Ramadan.
While many applauded the former Anambra State governor for bridging religious gab, Ahmad interpreted the gesture as politically motivated.
Taking to X, he ridiculed Obi’s gesture, stressing that he (Obi) could have done so in his home state, adding that he has started paying politics because of 2027 general elections.
He tweeted, “Peter Obi loves dramas; he would have to act in many scripts from now to 2027 and still end up producing an unsellable movie in the ballot boxes. I just watched his latest hit, his visit to a mosque in Nyaya where he joined Muslims during their breaking of the Ramadan fast.
“For eight years as a governor, Obi didn’t deem it fit to break fast with Muslims in Anambra even years after leaving office. 2027 politics is in the offing.”
