Personal Assistant to the President on New Media, Bashir Ahmad has denied orchestrating the suspension of Salihu Yakasai, Special Adviser on Media to Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje.

In a series of tweets on Sunday, Yakasai had accused President Muhammadu Buhari of lacking empathy for failing to address Nigerians over the #EndSARS protests.

Few hours later, Ganduje ordered his suspension over his “unguarded utterances”.

However, some Nigerians said Ahmad, who hails from Kano, was behind Yakasai’s suspension.
