Kabir Masari, the senior special adviser on political matters to President Bola Tinubu, has released a “verified portrait” of his role in the presidency.
The presidential aide uploaded the portrait, described as
“low quality” by an X commenter, to his social media pages on Tuesday.
It is unusual for presidential aides to have “official
portrait” — it is usually the president, his deputy and ministers that do.
Also, rather than being head shot, the portrait shows more than half of his body.
He is also looking away from the camera, completely
disconnected from those who may view the picture.
The post included his role in the presidency, written in
bold characters.
Although Masari, whom Tinubu picked as “placeholder” for his
running mate before the 2023 presidential election, has made the portrait his
profile picture on Facebook, he has been forced to pull down the post from X,
following backlash from other users.

Tinubu appointed Masari as an aide in July 2023. Before
that, he was the placeholder for Kashim Shettima, Tinubu’s running mate, in the
build-up to the 2023 presidential election.
Masari later resigned from the role after Shettima was
announced as Tinubu’s substantive running mate.
In May, he unveiled a “verified logo” as a presidential aide
in a post on X.
‘LACK OF QUALITY’
The post elicited a mixed reception on Facebook and X.
Afolabi, an X user, quoted the now-deleted post and
described it as lacking in quality while making fun of the presidential aide
and the photographer who took the shot.
