Share President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday night played host to All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftains, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and the pioneer Interim Chairman of the party, Chief Bisi Akande, at the presidential villa, Abuja. Their visit to the official residence of the president was for the purpose of condoling with him over the death of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. Gen. Ibrahim and 10 other military officers in an air crash. They were accompanied by former governor of Ogun State, Chief Segun Osoba; former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Alani Akinrinade (Rtd.); and Chief Pius Akinyelure. Speaking to the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) after the meeting, Tinubu described the incident as “a national loss,” saying that “it’s demoralising, it’s disheartening, it’s sad, and to rub minds with him too, to see a commitment to humanity.”

His decamping is, therefore, not coming as a surprise to many as his body language, loss of control of the PDP structure in Cross River State to the National Assembly members and other stakeholders and the general loss of favour in the PDP at the national level over time pointed to what might happen.
