Bashir Ahmad in a statement on Tuesday urged the Al-Kadriyar family to stop giving access to politicians who try to use their situation for political gains.
Bashir Ahmad, the former Personal Assistant to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari on Digital and New Media, has described the condolence visit by former Anambra governor, Peter Obi, to the Al-Kadriyar family, as solely political.
Seven members of the Al-Kadriyar family were abducted on January 2.
Najeeba, her five sisters and their father were abducted from their home in the Bwari area of Abuja. They also killed a relation of the family who tried to prevent the abduction.
The kidnappers first released their father to source for the N60 million ransom they initially demanded to release them but later killed one of his daughters, Nabeeha over ‘delay’ in the payment of the ransom.
The kidnappers later increased their ransom demand to N100 million.
Najeebah was later released along with four of her sisters.
Obi, the Labour Party candidate in the 2023 presidential election, on his X handle on Tuesday, said he paid a condolence visit to the family.
"Today, I witnessed yet another heartbreaking moment as I paid a condolence visit to the grieving family of Nabeeha Al-Kadriyar, brutally murdered by her abductors in the Nation's capital, Abuja recently.
"At the same time, I remembered the family of the late Folashade Ariyo," he wrote.
However, Bashir Ahmad in a statement on Tuesday urged the Al-Kadriyar family to stop giving access to politicians who try to use their situation for political gains.
He asked where Obi was when people were going the extra mile to ensure that Najeebah and her sisters were rescued from captivity.
He wrote, "On a serious note, it's time for the Al-Kadriyar family to stop giving access to politicians who bring along a contingent of journalists for a visit that is more about photo opportunities than genuine sympathy.
"Where was Peter Obi when people were going the extra mile to see Najeebah and her sisters rescued from captivity? Yet now, he has taken the media to visit the family, which was solely to serve his personal political interests.”
