When President Bola Ahmed Tinubu arrived in Kaduna and shared a moment with former Jigawa Governor Sule Lamido, the internet exploded. The reason? Lamido, a PDP heavyweight, has long been one of Tinubu’s fiercest critics. Yet cameras captured smiles, handshakes, and warm gestures.
Almost instantly, the videos trended, with Nigerians asking, “Is 2027 already being scripted?”
Politics in Nigeria has always thrived on the unexpected. Friend today, rival tomorrow; sworn enemy yesterday, loyal ally today. Lamido’s presence at the meeting is not just a footnote. It is symbolic, a reminder that in Nigerian politics, ideology often takes a backseat to strategy.
The hype surrounding this meeting is not centered on Kaduna itself, but on what it could mean: the first moves on the political chessboard of 2027. Could critics become collaborators? Could this be Tinubu’s attempt to neutralize dissent within the northern political bloc? Or is this simply the photo-op politics that Nigerians know so well?
Whatever the truth, one thing is certain: Nigerians are watching.
“From critic to comrade? Tinubu’s Kaduna handshake leaves Nigerians wondering: What’s brewing for 2027?”
