Buhari’s Kaduna Residence Emerges as Political Powerhouse Ahead of 2027 Polls
The increasing number of political figures visiting former President Muhammadu Buhari’s Kaduna residence has marked a notable shift in Nigeria’s political landscape as the 2027 presidential elections draw near. Despite stepping down from office, Buhari’s home has become a significant meeting point for both loyal supporters and former critics, who now seek his endorsement and political counsel for the future of the nation.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Notably, high-ranking political figures from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and opposition parties alike have been making frequent visits. This surge in attention suggests that Buhari’s political influence could play a crucial role in the outcome of the upcoming election.
Some prominent figures who have visited Buhari include former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, and former Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal. These visits have stirred political discourse across the country, with many speculating that Buhari could become a central figure in shaping political alliances ahead of 2027.
While some, like El-Rufai, have downplayed the significance of these visits, calling them purely social gatherings, others have highlighted the growing discontent within the northern region regarding the current administration. APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, dismissed the opposition leaders’ meetings as mere political theatre, expressing confidence in the ruling party’s continued dominance.
However, Buhari’s continued popularity in northern Nigeria, particularly among the common masses, cannot be ignored. Lawmakers like Senator Ali Ndume have warned that should Buhari remain neutral or withdraw his support, it could drastically affect the election outcome.
Political experts, including Peter Ameh from the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), believe that these visits reflect the mounting dissatisfaction with the Tinubu administration. The visits serve as an indicator of the political shifts occurring within the ruling APC, with many in the northern region feeling sidelined.
As these developments unfold, the significance of Buhari’s Kaduna residence as a political gathering point continues to grow, raising questions about the influence of former leaders in shaping Nigeria’s political future.

“Give Us More Time!”—Tinubu Appeals To Nigerians For Patience With Ongoing Reforms Ahead Of 2027
President Bola Tinubu has appealed to Nigerians to grant his administration more time to fully implement and complete its ongoing reforms and programs.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The President made this appeal through the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, during a special Juma’at prayer at the National Mosque in Abuja. The prayer was part of the activities commemorating Nigeria’s 66th Independence Anniversary.
Reflecting on the country’s journey, President Tinubu noted that at 66 years old, Nigeria has reached maturity despite facing a mixed journey of past challenges and missed opportunities. He assured citizens that his administration is actively working to correct the cumulative mistakes inherited from previous governments.
Key Highlights of the President’s Message:

Call for Patience: President Tinubu urged citizens to give the current government more time and opportunity to conclude its reform initiatives.

Hope for the Future: Conveying the message alongside the leadership of the National Assembly, Speaker Abbas assured Nigerians that peace and development are returning to the country.
-
On the Right Track: The President stated that Nigeria is firmly on the right path, maintaining that there is light at the end of the tunnel as the nation works toward greatness.
A major political feud has erupted within the opposition coalition as the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) officially distanced itself from a faction of the OK Movement led by John Oghulu. The friction follows Oghulu’s public refusal to surrender the movement’s national, state, local government, and ward structures to the NDC, insisting that the group is an independent political organization rather than a conventional support group.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The controversy gained momentum after NDC National Leader, Senator Seriake Dickson—speaking while welcoming former SGF Babachir Lawal into the party—criticized support groups that operate as rival structures instead of focusing on grassroots mobilization for candidates Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso.
Reacting sharply to Oghulu’s dismissal of these concerns, the NDC Director of New Media and Strategic Communications, Theo Abu Agada, issued a blistering clarification on social media:
-
Disowned Leadership: Agada declared that John Oghulu’s faction does not speak for the party, stating explicitly, “The OK movement that we know, did not authorize this statement.”
-
Working Against the Party: The NDC spokesperson accused Oghulu of actively undermining both the NDC and the broader Obidient movement.
-
True Grassroots Alignment: Agada affirmed that the legitimate wing of the OK Movement remains in close collaboration with the party to drive mobilization for the upcoming 2027 elections.
