Former presidential aide Bashir Ahmad has criticized popular Nigerian artist Davido for his recent remarks cautioning Black Americans against relocating to Nigeria. Ahmad called Davido's statement "disappointing and unpatriotic," arguing that public figures should always act as positive ambassadors for the country.
Davido had warned that Nigeria’s economy is in a “shambles” and advised against relocating there after the victory of former U.S. President Donald Trump. The singer highlighted the economic challenges and instability, advising potential migrants to consider other options. His statement sparked mixed reactions across social media, with some agreeing with his caution, while others felt he was tarnishing Nigeria's image.
In response, Bashir Ahmad expressed disappointment with the star’s remarks, suggesting that it was inappropriate for public figures to speak negatively about the country, especially when they have platforms to influence positive change. Ahmad emphasized the importance of presenting Nigeria in a better light, regardless of its current struggles.
