Tinubu's Aide Labels Obi and Kwankwaso as Entertainers

Ibrahim Kabir Masari, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Political Affairs, characterized opposition leaders Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso as entertainers, indicating that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is not threatened by their political maneuvers in the lead-up to the 2027 general elections. In an interview with TRT Africa Hausa, Masari expressed confidence in the APC's preparedness for the elections, stating that the party does not fear any opposition candidates, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

He criticized Atiku, claiming he has nothing new to offer Nigerians due to his previous tenure in power. Masari emphasized that the APC is focused on the concerns of ordinary Nigerians rather than the opposition.

He also dismissed allegations that Kwankwaso is collaborating with President Tinubu to weaken the opposition, asserting that Tinubu prioritizes the welfare of Nigerians over political rivalries.
