President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed his former Personal Assistant on New Media, Bashir Ahmad, as Special Assistant to the President on Digital Communications.
Ahmad had resigned his previous position as Personal Assistant to the President in line with the presidential directive, urging all political office holders wishing to contest elective office to resign.
The presidential media aide lost his bid to secure the ticket of the All Progressives Congress at the party’s primaries for Gaya, Ajingi, Albasu Federal Constituency.
He is believed to be the only presidential aide ‘recalled’ by President Buhari, since the conclusion of the APC primaries.
