Bashir Ahmed, Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari, has come under fire on Twitter after saying that the ongoing construction of the Second Niger Bridge would be a gift to Nigerians when completed.
In a tweet on Sunday Ahmed said, “When the Second Niger Bridge is completed, it will be a gift that will keep the President @MBuhari’s administration in the minds of millions of Nigerians for a very long time.”

A gift? Is this how elected officials feel when they initiate projects funded with tax payers' money?

@BashirAhmaad I used to believe that any Hausa/Fulani that have access to quality education should be intelligent, but you have proved me wrong.Public infrastructure(s) done with Tax Payers money is not a gift from government but the responsibility of the government. #Demagogues
