Buhari Saw Tinubu As Bad News

The political landscape in Nigeria continues to witness intense scrutiny as historical dynamics between former President Muhammadu Buhari and his successor, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, are brought to the forefront of public discourse.

Buhari saw Tinubu as bad news, and he did everything within his power to ensure he did not succeed him.

Recent revelations from political insiders suggest that the relationship between the two leaders was fraught with underlying tensions, with claims that the former administration actively worked to undermine Tinubu’s political aspirations long before he assumed the presidency.

Analysts point to various instances during the Buhari administration where Tinubu’s influence within the All Progressives Congress (APC) appeared to be systematically curtailed, fueling speculation about a deliberate effort to sideline him from the corridors of power.
