On September 3, 2024, Bashir Ahmad, who served as a media aide to former President Muhammadu Buhari, posted a notable photo on X. The image features Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, shaking hands with Vice President Kashim Shettima.

This encounter occurred as both leaders traveled together to offer their condolences to the Yar’Adua family. The visit was in response to the passing of Hajia Dada Yar’Adua, the matriarch of the Yar’Adua family, who died in Katsina on September 2, 2024.

Ahmad’s social media post accompanying the photo was succinct: “Caption not needed.” The photo speaks for itself, capturing a moment of unity and respect during a solemn occasion.
