Former President Muhammadu Buhari’s aide, Bashir Ahmad, has reacted after Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, joined other chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State to attend the wedding ceremony of the son of the Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin.
Jibrin’s son, Abdullahi got married to Bilkisu Aliyu Sani Madaki, daughter of the Deputy Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Aliyu Sani Madaki.
The list of dignitaries at the ceremony held at Isyaka Rabiu Juma’at Mosque, Goron Dutse, Kano, after juma’at prayers, includes Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, House of Reps Speaker, Tajudeen Abbas, Senator Ali Ndume, and Kawu Sumaila.
However, photos of Peter Obi alongside Akpabio and other APC chieftains have sparked reactions online considering the impending outcome of the 2023 election case before the Election Petition Tribunal.
Many supporters of LP had expected that Peter Obi would shun everything associated with the ruling party.
Reacting to the development, Buhari’s ex-aide averred that the former Governor of Anambra State has joined real politics, and he is happy for him.
He tweeted, “Peter Obi attended wedding of Deputy Senate President’s son in Kano today. Peter has just joined the real politics, I am happy for him.”
