Bashir Ahmad disagreed with Mohammad Bello El-Rufai’s comparison of Peter Obi to Nasir el-Rufai and Babatunde Fashola on Twitter. Ahmad noted in a tweet that el-Rufai and Fashola, the two previous governors, outperformed Obi, demonstrating their noteworthy influence and enduring legacies in their respective states. Ahmad feels that Peter Obi did not accomplish the better-than-inherited status that el-Rufai and Fashola left their states in.
Ahmad’s tweet underscores a divide in opinions regarding the performance and legacies of political figures. While some laud el-Rufai and Fashola for their contributions to governance, others, like Ahmad, question the impact of Peter Obi’s tenure. The comparison sheds light on differing perceptions of governance styles and outcomes across Nigerian states.
The Twitter exchange between Ahmad and El-Rufai adds to ongoing discussions about political leadership and governance in Nigeria. Such public discourse reflects the engagement of citizens and political observers in evaluating the effectiveness and achievements of elected officials across the country.
He said: The only where I disagreed with @B_ELRUFAI was when he compared Nasir el-Rufai and Babatunde Fashola with Peter Obi. The two former governors were far better than him. Both had a lasting legacy and impact on their respective states, leaving them in a better condition than they met them. Sadly, the same cannot be said about Peter.
