Tinubu’s Political Influence Raises Questions About Letting Go of Power
Leaving office does not always mean losing political influence. In Nigeria, some politicians continue to shape party tickets, appointments and other positions after their time in government ends. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been part of this conversation for decades, from his years as Lagos governor to his election as president in 2023. During a recent visit to Makkah, Tinubu said he prayed inside the Holy Ka’abah for wisdom and resilience to continue serving Nigerians. He also recalled making a similar prayer before the 2023 election. The story asks whether this reflects a commitment to leadership, political ambition or an attachment to power—and whether Nigerian politicians can truly let go.
