Bashir Ahmad, the Personal Assistant on New Media to President Muhammadu Buhari has been called out on social media by users over a controversial tweet he made supporting death sentence on Blasphemy.

Nigerians called him him an extremist for supporting the killing of another man, while wondering why such a religion will not allow the almight God fight his own battle.
It all started after a Kano court passed a death sentence on a musician for blasphemy. Online users condemned the sentence stating clearly that since Nigeria is not a sharia country, a court of such standard has no legal right to impose death sentence.
Bashir took to Twitter to support the sentence with Nigerians coming for his head.
You are such an animal in human body

Interesting…. So what punishment does your sharia law recommend for murderers and bribe collectors?
Or it doesn't have any?— Adira's mama🤭 (Chidịmma) (@mma_xta) August 11, 2020
We will bleed our pens to write the pains of ordinary Nigerians. We will cry and mourn in the market places with ashes smeared on our pallid faces. I failed the day I was born a Nigerian, and I failed woefully the day I grew up here as a youth. I said that Biafra is the only way

Not sure in which capacity you are speaking, however I blame amalgamation.
For if there was no amalgamation, you won’t have the audacity to be speaking to over 120million christians the way you have spoken.

"Do you really intend to fight on Baal's behalf? Do you really intend to rescue him by ordering that whoever fights him will be EXECUTED by morning? If Baal is a god, let him fight for himself. After all, it was his altar that was torn down."

A leopard never changes its spot . Same thoughts yesterday, today and tomorrow. These are people at the helm of affairs brazenly supporting the death penalty for blasphemy but a governor who was caught on camera in Kano state stuffing dollars in his babariga walks scot free.
