Why Is President Tinubu warming up to the FRENCH other Africans are expelling? by SadiqBabaSani(op):
Nigerian cyberspace the past few days have been filled with photo ops of the President, his wife and top government functionaries.

French Embassy announced €600k Euro scholarships for Nigerian teacher amongst of others. https://www.nairaland.com/8281424/nigeria-france-sign-300m-agreement

Question is, why is Tinubu warming up to the French who are been expelled from most of their former African colonies?

Tinubu is a man who knows what he is doing.

The French are not evil, they have their interests just like every other country.

The relationship between Nigeria and France is not new.

It's just that the previous government didn't take advantage of it.

France are interested in Nigeria because of the upcoming election in their country.

The French election is not far from the Africa's election.

Good for us

To the uninformed, this is the dynamics of international politics in display.

Tinubu knowing fully well of the power shift in the United States and also no backing from Russia. He’s got to cozy up with France to appear he has some sort of backing from a world power.

And his media team is milking it to the last.

A government without backing from either the US or Russia is looking for support from France that’s losing grip on its colonies. Lmao

Anyways, 2025 is just around the corner. An interesting year ahead.

All over the world, the government in power is the one that benefits from the goodwill of foreign governments.

I strongly suspect they sponsored his elections. The French has an incredibly very effective Secret Service, dedicated solely to economic espionage mainly in Africa. If you notice Tinubus movements right from the endsars days to this day, it has always been more towards France.

Infact his first move after being sworn in was to go and squash that Nigerias courts case against french Agip. That's pay back right there. He has been trying to build any collabo between his familys Oando and french Agip eee aince. I believe the French provided him with the much needed diplomatic cover and crucial operational intelligence for his grand heist during the campaigns and elections .

Once you’re not in corridors of power, all you’ll be perceiving will be mere speculation and no facts… it’s only an insider that can bring Tinubu down, his inner caucus is very small and trustworthy, it’s only his son seyi that has everything to do that, Remi his wife might have one or two… outside these names, no other Nigerian born of a woman can bring tinubu down, he took years to lay his foundation and perfect his game.

When he saw he was ready, he said “EMILOKAN”

It’s my turn
