Celebrating a Dedicated Professional: Bashir Ashura: A Message from Prof. Ali Ahmad
“The news of your induction into the prestigious Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) brings with it a deep sense of pride and fulfilment for all who have followed your journey of growth, commitment, and excellence. This significant milestone is not merely a personal achievement; it is a moment that highlights the strength of character, discipline, and passion that you have consistently demonstrated over the years,” stated Prof. Ali Ahmad, former Speaker of the 8th Kwara State House of Assembly and Professor of Constitutional Law.
Prof. Ahmad described the attainment as one that commands admiration, noting:
“Beyond the certificate and recognition, this induction stands as a testament to your professionalism, your mastery of communication, and the ethical responsibility you bring to public relations. As a Patigi-born communicator whose impact stretches far beyond local boundaries, your work has strengthened not only the PDP family but also the Saraki political dynasty. Your voice has become one of clarity, truth, and strategic engagement, qualities that define outstanding public communicators.”
Speaking with warmth and admiration, Prof. Ahmad continued:
“As a committed member of our political family, you have shown unwavering loyalty, consistency, and integrity. Your contributions to the Saraki political structure reflect a depth of conviction that is rare, standing firm in both calm and challenging seasons. Bashir, you have distinguished yourself as a dependable team player, a disciplined professional, and a young leader who understands the weight of responsibility that comes with public engagement.”
Reflecting further on your dedication and service, Prof. Ahmad added:
“As a media practitioner and Deputy Publicity Secretary of the PDP in Kwara State, you have embodied professionalism not in words but in action. You communicate with purpose, uphold the truth, defend democratic values, and remain steadfast in promoting the ideals we collectively stand for. Your loyalty to the Saraki tradition and the PDP at large has strengthened our political movement, inspired many young people, and shown that commitment rooted in sincerity always endures.”
Offering a broader reflection on your achievement, Prof. Ahmad emphasized:
“You are not just a media actor; you are a bridge builder, a strategic thinker, and a young professional whose humility enhances his influence. Your induction into NIPR is not accidental; it is the result of years of hard work, continuous learning, and unshaken dedication to excellence. It also validates the confidence that leaders like Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki have in your potential, having sponsored your professional training in recognition of your talent and promise.”
Recalling the significance of this moment, Prof. Ahmad noted:
“Your induction is a reminder that commitment, discipline, and loyalty are always rewarded. It is a moment that marks your transition into a new phase of responsibility, one that demands even greater professionalism, higher ethical standards, and broader service to society, your party, and your community. Indeed, as the Qur’an teaches us, ‘And whoever does good, does so for his own soul’; today, your good work speaks loudly for you.”
Concluding his message, Prof. Ahmad offered prayers and goodwill:
“May Allah continue to guide you, expand your path, and bless the knowledge and expertise you have acquired. May your new status as an Associate of NIPR open greater doors of service and recognition. May you remain a shining example to the youth of Patigi, the PDP family, and the Saraki political tradition, and may your commitment continue to inspire all those who work alongside you.”
Today, we celebrate a loyal party man, a steadfast communicator, and a rising force in public relations, Bashir Ashura.
