Nigeria's politics

One of the daughters of president Muhammadu Buhari, Hanan, has announced that her father is a “Silent Achiever.” She made the declaration during the Fleet Review held at the Naval Dockyard Limited in Victoria Island, Lagos by her father.

Buhari, who will exit power next week upon the completion of his second term in office, will hand over to “President-elect,” Bola Tinubu, on Monday May 29, 2023.

The outgoing president, and former army general has been commissioning projects across the country in his last week in the office.

In a post via her Instastories, Hanan shared a photo of her father during the inauguration of two new Warships and review of the naval fleet in Lagos on Monday.

See her post below:

Ex-UK Prime Minister, Tony Blair, visited Nigeria on Tuesday May 23, and currently in talks with the country’s President-elect, Bola Tinubu.

Tony Blair served as Prime Minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from 1997 to 2007, and he’s the only Labour leader in the party’s 100-year history to win three consecutive elections.

Nonetheless, the reason for his visitation few days to Tinubu’s swearing-in on May 29, is yet to be revealed at the time of filing this report.

Chief Tinubu posted photos from the visit on his IG page and wrote;

‘’I received former British Prime Minister and founder Tony Blair Institute for Good Governance, Mr Tony Blair, at the Defence House, Abuja, earlier today. We discussed areas of mutual interests and how Nigeria can continue to benefit from the amazing work of the Institute.”
