How Ahmad reacted to Kanu’s outburstHowever, Ahmed, a former presidential aide, took to social media and condemned the action of the embattled IPOB leader against one of his lawyers, describing it as arrogance. Ahmed wrote:
“Nnamdi Kanu’s arrogance is on full display here. It seems he has no respect for others, especially his subordinates. Tapping a grown man aggressively like that and yelling at him, who does he think he is that no one should talk while he is talking? Kanu should know that respect is earned, not forced!”Nnamdi Kanu: Nigerians reacted to Ahmad’s commentSome Nigerians have taken to the comment section of Ahmad’s statement and expressed displeasure about his outburst. Below are some of their comments:
Delegate Simon called on Ahmad:
“Hey @BashirAhmaad don’t talk about mazi Like that.”King Salem commented:
“Hitting his lawyers and shouting at a man old enough to be his father is the height of arrogance. I told you guys that releasing Nnamdi Kanu will cause more calamity in Igboland than restoring peace. Hasn’t he proven it today? He is no longer in the right mental state. He is now behaving like a Terrorist. Cage and suspend his trial indefinitely.”Maysbabs wrote:
“You called it arrogance. Be humane at least, someone has been tied down for years and the laws granted him to be released but they didn’t. You are expecting him to be gentle, it’s Buhari that caused such a person like you to have a say.”Mustapha Katsina tweeted:
“I’m a lawyer and I feel ashamed for that lawyer who was disgraced. This lawyer is a disgrace to our profession.”Kcphilips said:
“He will learn the hard way. Somebody who is supposed to be pleading for forgiveness is shouting both at the judge and his lawyer. E be like the thing dey graduate to madness. Is becoming clearer now.”Read Bashir’s tweet here:
