Renowned content creator and activist Mr Macaroni has criticised Bashir Ahmad, former aide to ex-President Buhari, for his remarks directed at Rahama Saidu, the TikToker who condemned the Kano governor after her shop was demolished and subsequently set on fire.
The issue arose when the Kano Urban Planning and Development Authority (KNUPDA) tore down part of Saidu’s shop.
KNUPDA argued that the structure was constructed illegally on public pathways, breaching city planning regulations.

Saidu expressed her outrage in an Instagram post, blaming the incident on Abba Yusuf, the state governor.
Several hours later, the demolished shop was found burning, though the cause of the fire has not been determined.
In response to the fire incident, Ahmad criticised Saidu for speaking out against the governor, calling it “completely wrong.”
He also referred to the burning of her shop as “condemnable and ridiculous” and urged the Kano government to ensure justice is upheld.
“I honestly didn’t want to say anything about this Rahama Saidu’s issue. What she did was completely wrong, she shouldn’t have called out the Governor’s name in that manner,” he wrote via X.
“However, the treatment she received afterward, especially the burning of her shop, is absolutely ridiculous and condemnable. Nothing can justify such an act.
“I sincerely hope the Kano Government will intervene, ensure justice is served, and the perpetrators are held accountable.”
However, Macaroni disagreed with Ahmad, arguing that it was wrong to suggest that a citizen should not criticise the governor, who is a “public servant.”
In a Friday post on X, the actor pointed out that Ahmad’s message did not directly condemn the destruction of Saidu’s property, but instead seemed to blame her for voicing her frustrations.
“This is a former Presidential Media aide who has OON attached to his name telling the world that it is wrong for a citizen to criticize the Governor who is a public Servant,” he wrote.
“There is no justification for the destruction of Rahama Saidu’s properties!!! And the first part of Bashir’s message blames the victim instead of outrightly condemning the attack!
“So a citizen expressing her frustrations is justification for the destruction of her properties? Do the people no longer have the right to express themselves?
“You love to defend oppression when it affects others but turn around to condemn it when it affects you. Despicable!”
