Nigerian singer Skales has slammed former presidential aide Bashir Ahmad, accusing him of being insensitive and labeling him a “terrorist sympathizer.”
The outburst followed Bashir Ahmad’s call for security agencies to investigate a US missionary, Alex Barbir, who had criticised President Bola Tinubu over the Palm Sunday attack in Jos, which reportedly left at least 25 people dead.
Bashir Ahmad had said, “If Nigeria were to descend into chaos today, as this agent of destruction, Alex Babir, has been pushing for, he would still have his own country to return to. You, however, would be left to face the consequences here.
“Be wise! As a nation, Nigeria must be firm, decisive and uncompromising toward anyone who comes into our country with the intent to incite chaos or disrupt our peace.”
Reacting strongly, Skales blamed Bashir Ahmad and the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari for worsening insecurity in Nigeria.
He wrote, “You are a big fool … there’s a lots chaos in Nigeria … people are suffering… terorist that started under you and Buhari tenure have gotten worst because you did nothing with the terrible Buhari regime… I pray this happened to your family fool.
“You are nothing but a terorist sympathizer and your end will be celebrated you fool ..evil soul.. i pray what’s happening also happens to you and your family … no sympathy cos you’re an evil person … look at what matters to you In This moment what about the souls killed.
“Kai Buran ubanka … are people dieing or not ?… Zakaci durin mamanka… fool .. you and the former president were part of Nigerias problem. All this got worst under your watch … I hate you … I wish I could see you rightnow and slap your wowo face.”
The exchange has sparked reactions online, with many Nigerians debating both the security situation in the country and the tone of public discourse among public figures.
