Personal Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on new media, Bashir Ahmad has reacted to Omotola Jalade’ criticism of the present administration saying those earning legitimate money had no problems with the current situation of things in the country.
Just as the Nollywood actress took to her twitter handle to air her views on the state of the nation, Ahmad also took to twitter to respond.
Jalade had on Monday tweeted that the country was hellish under the government of Buhari and Osinbajo.
Her tweet read: The Country Under your watch is Hellish! @ProfOsinbajo @MBuhari @NGRPresident The lack of Money in circulation, Now coupled with the Continuous Assault n Killings by Uniformed men’ll make this Country implode!!!It’s Unbearable! Do something!Insecurity!Fear n Desperation everywhere.
Reacting to the tweet on his verified handle, Ahmad however countered Jalade’s claims.
He said: Madam Omotola those who are working for CLEAN money are not complaining and will never refer our dear country as ‘hellish’. In Kano State alone, from 2015 to 2018, no fewer than 200 medium and small scale rice milling centres emerged. For that, billions circulated among millions.
Not willingly to let go, Jalade fired a response. She said: “As long as you’re not insinuating that I am not working CLEAN for my money… I hear you. Its good that there are some progress…Do you truly want to say you don’t see all that’s really wrong? Can we fight for our future in truth for once? Without being partisan?”
Meanwhile, Nigerians have lent their voices to the debate. Below are some of their reactions:

Like @Realomosexy said, can you for once agree that things are not working without being partisan? Well, you have paint your paymaster as a competent fellow. It’s expected. Progress in error. – @Joe4links
The problem of our nation is that too many people prefer to “Kill the messenger and throw away the message”. They prefer to stay partisan on issues that concern the development of this nation. Personally, I question the govt without consideration of who is in power. – @KnightofLagos
If people won’t admit there are issues, how will they even go about fixing them
Let’s tell ourselves the truth..This will never be the Nation I want for my kids , the way it’s been ran since 59 years..Partisan, ethic ,Religious politics won’t let us come together n fix #NGR #Sad – @ojstan
This man is purely partisan and he’s one of the people shielding the truth from coming out. Where’s the result of the billions he’s referring to in Kano when almanjiris flood the whole Kano city and new ones in thousands are emerging everyday. You needn’t have glorified him. – @adeeji1
Bash, lack of money in circulation is not same as lack of slush fund in circulation. This is simple for even an unlettered Mai Ruwa to understand. That you have access to presidential suya now should not rob you of your ability to think. – @ahmedrazak3
Very pathetic people, they think this hardship is the sign of a better Nigeria. We are not growing, we are not depreciating we are just nosediving every single day. They question who ever speaks up about this unfortunate situation we find ourselves in, Labelling them as being corrupt.- @adelowoAbdulahi
Uncle Bashir (mess cleaner), there’s always a response from you, at least that’s your job description; to give responses to twitter wailers. More grease to your elbow.
You see, if our generation do not hear the consequences your actions, our children will.-@KnightofLagos
