Five Cabals Allegedly Control Tinubu's Administration

In a recent interview with podcast host Edmund Obilo, Charl Omol, the biographer of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, revealed that five distinct cabals are currently exerting influence over Tinubu's administration. The first cabal is allegedly linked to Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, who is said to control a strong political structure within the government.

The second cabal is associated with Seyi Tinubu, the president's son, who is claimed to have significant influence over appointments, including that of the Minister of Youth. Omol also identified a third cabal led by Ladi, who has her own sphere of influence, and a fourth cabal consisting of young individuals around Tinubu.

The fifth and final power bloc is described as a dominant circle that influences government policies directly. Despite these allegations, presidential aides have repeatedly dismissed claims that unelected individuals control decision-making within the administration, asserting that President Tinubu remains fully in charge since assuming office in May 2023.
