A former governor of a state recently paid a visit to an ex-Minister of Interior and a prominent pastor in Lagos on a Sunday. Photos of their meeting circulated widely on social media. While the purpose of their discussion was not disclosed, it is speculated to be related to political strategies for the upcoming general elections in 2027.
The former governor has been openly critical of the ruling party and a prominent political figure. He attributed his rejection by the National Assembly to the influential political figure and has been seen meeting with opposition politicians. His recent visit to the ex-Minister and pastor has sparked discussions about his political intentions and alliances for the future.
The former Minister, who was recently vocal in the media about being sidelined by the ruling party, hinted at a possible departure from the party. When questioned about his support for the President in the next election, he evaded the question, suggesting uncertainty about his party affiliation by then.
Response from party officials regarding the visit was dismissive, stating that the former governor’s activities are of little concern to them at the moment. They emphasized his freedom to associate with whomever he chooses and downplayed the significance of his recent meetings.
