President Muhammadu Buhari’s media aide, Bashir Ahmed, has lost the All Progressives Congress primary election for member representing Ajingi, Albasu, and Gaya Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives.
The Personal Assistant to the President, Ahmad lost at the APC party primaries to the incumbent, Abdullahi Mahmud Gaya.
Results from the area showed that Ahmad scored 16 votes against Gaya’s 109 votes.
However, social media handlers have continued to mock Ahmad for losing his bid noting that popularity on social media doesn’t translate to victory at the polls.
“So far those winning are not popular on social media. It’s a lesson that politics is local. Know this and know peace,” a tweet reads.
