Why Political Loyalty Still Shapes Tinubu’s Alliances

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu appears to value allies who supported him when his political prospects were uncertain. In politics, loyalty is often judged by who stood firm during difficult periods, not by who joined after victory was assured. Those who opposed him during the primaries or general election may find it difficult to demand the same level of trust as allies who took political risks to support him. Such loyalty can also strengthen the administration’s ability to attract influential figures from outside the ruling party. Political relevance is built on timing, influence and the value a person brings to an alliance. That reality continues to shape relationships within Nigeria’s political class.
