Former Borno Governor, Ali Modu Sheriff In Courtesy Visit To President Tinubu by Pakute(op): 3:14pm On Aug 16, 2025
Former Borno State Governor, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, on Thursday night, August 14, 2025, paid a courtesy visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Sheriff, a two-term governor of Borno State and former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), arrived at Aso Rock in the evening and was received warmly by the President. While details of their private discussions were not made public, sources at the villa said the meeting was cordial and focused on matters of national interest.

The visit underscores Sheriff’s continued engagement in the political space, as well as his relationship with the President. Observers note that such high-level meetings are common among political allies and senior figures in the ruling party, especially as the administration navigates key policy challenges.

Sheriff, who remains an influential political figure in the North-East, has been a regular visitor to the Presidential Villa in recent years, often offering insights on security and development issues affecting the region.

Ali Modu Sheriff don show face for Aso Rock again like elder wey no need invite before e enter parlour. 🧓🏾🏛️

On Thursday night (Aug 14, 2025), baba Sheriff — former Borno State governor and ex-APC national chairman — waka go visit President Tinubu for Villa. Dem no tell us wetin dem yarn inside closed door, but villa gist say "na cordial meeting" and dem talk national matter (which fit mean anything from insecurity to who go collect what for 2027).

Sheriff don dey Aso Rock like regular customer, always checking in to drop advice like political consultant wey no dey collect receipt. Given say he still hold plenty political weight for North-East, the visit no surprise analysts. E fit even be coded lobbying, strategic repositioning, or just "how far, my man?" between old party padi them.

As dem dey talk for politics:

Agulu Messiah is partly less. So the Obdiot mobs are also party less. So, don't even consider them. Why join issues with people that are not even sure if they are standing, sitting, squatting or running for 2027 elections at this time?

Why?

Re: Former Borno Governor, Ali Modu Sheriff In Courtesy Visit To President Tinubu by Fejoku: 5:15pm On Aug 16, 2025
The chief founder of Boko Haram is confidently welcomed in Asorock under Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Let that be well remembered in history because, tomorrow some people will want to deny associating with him. This was how Kabiru Sokoto, the 2011 Chrismas bomber which killed about 50 people was found in Kashim Shettima's (the current Vice President of Nigeria) residence as the governor of Borno state at the time.
This means that Bola Ahmed Tinubu is wining and dining with terrorism sponsors wholeheartedly. Let that sink in.

Na this kain level Senator Ali Ndume from same Borno suppose dey ..as elder Stateman...he should have unrestricted access to the President, considering his level and how long way they have come together..but then, he prefers going to the media and shouting up and down.

I hope, in Bornu state, he is in the same camp as the Vice president, otherwise the VP will be very worried about any close rapport between this man and the President.

If this man is propped up as an alternative power base in Bornu, and he and his camp can deliver at least 25% of the state's vote, hmm.
Re: Former Borno Governor, Ali Modu Sheriff In Courtesy Visit To President Tinubu by DeLaRue:
I remember being told by an older friend a few years ago that Mr Tinubu is the most connected person in Nigeria. He said there was no state where he could not call 10 powerful people at the press of a phone button. That was long before he became President.

We see the signs all the time.

Every one that matters in Nigeria claim to have been his friend at one time or the other.

A couple of days ago, Prof Soludo said they have been friends for over 22 years. Enugu state Governor said the same a few months ago.

No one else in Nigeria has Mr Tinubu's type of connect.

As a result there is always someone somewhere in the innermost recess of Nigeria, from the most remote senatorial district in Sokoto to Osun, to Plateau, to Cross Ri ers, Niger, Gombe, Ondo etc who will stand up for him when the chips are down. That will count in 2027.

That is one of the differences between Mr Tinubu and Mr Jonathan.

All the PDP northern chieftain that ganged up to canvass votes for Mr Buhari were not people Mr Jonathan had long standing relationships with. They only met in pdp. They found it easy to betray him.

This man was my school mate in university of Maiduguri that year when he was the governor of borno state, he can't speak English at that time so he enrolled and he was matriculated with me same year. He used to attend lectures as a governor. I could remember how he fed us the entire students both Christians and Muslims during Ramadan fasting that was 2004
