Bashir Ahmed, former aide to the immediate past President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, has taken to social media to address the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, under the administration of President Tinubu.
Ahmed, in a bold move, highlighted the lack of adequate lighting in prominent districts of Abuja, raising concerns about the city’s safety at night.
This public call for action has sparked mixed reactions from the people, with some acknowledging the issue and others questioning the timing and intent of the message.
The former aide’s message has reignited the debate on the state of lighting in Abuja, with some pointing out the lack of significant improvements during the previous administration, while others have criticized the timing of the public address.
The revelation sparked various reactions from the online community.
@Ahmedsaleem; “It’s been like this since Buharis time.
In fact, more improvements in FCT are witnessed under Wike than the preceding minister”
@RoyaltyUso; While your point is valid, Abuja is just as dark as it has been under the eight years of Buhari. Who shut your mouth from giving the same advice between 2015 to 2023?
@Oteessolutions1s “This shows a lack of intelligence on your part. Your boss spent 8 years in Aso Rock as a fulani president, left less than a year ago, and you want to tell the FCT ministerwhatto do. Did you tell him that those places and other places needed to be light up? You should be ashamed of yourself. If you’re claiming to know much, you should have told your boss or those in charge or the then FCT minister to fix it.”
