A former aide to late President Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmad, has expressed support for President Bola Tinubu amidst the ongoing controversy surrounding the cancellation of French President Emmanuel Macron’s planned visit to Nigeria. In a series of tweets, Ahmad described Tinubu’s reported concern that Macron’s visit could trigger allegations of foreign interference in Nigeria’s electoral process as the right move. According to Daily Post Nigeria, Ahmad’s endorsement comes after reports surfaced that Macron’s visit was cancelled due to Tinubu’s concerns. The French President was scheduled to visit Nigeria in the lead-up to the 2027 presidential election. While the Nigerian government has not officially commented on the matter, the controversy has sparked a debate about foreign interference in Nigeria’s political affairs. This endorsement from Bashir Ahmad, a well-known figure in Nigerian politics, could strengthen Tinubu’s position in the ongoing political discourse.
