The author of From Soldier to Statesman, Charles Omole, has said that there are five cabals within the government of President Bola Tinubu.

Speaking during an interview on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television monitored by DAILY POST on Thursday, Omole said the first cabal is headed by the President himself.

According to him, others include the Femi Gbajabiamila–Wike group, the Seyi Tinubu group and the First Lady, Remi Tinubu group.

“President will always have people around him. But you need to put systems in place to avoid state capture or presidential capture because, for example, the current government have, from what I can see, at least five cabals within the presidency.

“And the interesting thing about one of the cabals actually is headed by the president himself, based on my own analysis.

“So, in this current administration, at least there are five groups. There is the Chief of Staff group headed by Femi Gbajabiamila. And by that I mean not just him but there are people in that circle like the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike and the National Security Adviser, NSA Nuhu Ribadu.

“Secondly, you have the Seyi Tinubu’s group consisting of those he helped get some government appointments and all that. And of course, you have the First Lady’s group, Remi Tinubu,” he said.

You think Gbajabiamila is part of them? Tinubu has since degraded him. Even in Lagos, his aspiration to become gov is fading away.


I'm not see a serious cabal in Tinubu govt oooo, when dictator is rulling, every other voice would be crushed or silent.

Though, some are influential, but no serious cabal.

The only cabal in the presidency is baba himself!

Whatever is given to baba, he does as he wishes and deems fit.

Once baba's eyes goes off his prepared script, he's about to give Nigerians a new topic of discus. (We are still discussing the 30 trillion revenue shortfall for 2025 after baba offhand told us that the revenue target was achieved in August).

Which cabal fired Farouk Ahmed, if not the only cabal of baba.

Even Wike that is making mouth up and down knows that baba can "change things" for him without "batting" an eye lid (no pun intended)

The next person on Baba's radar is obviously "Mr security" (Don't ask me how I know)

"The garrulous drunkard" will obviously be used and set-up "codedly" and removed from circulation and he won't know the origin of his wahala.

Gbaja is just a hanger around the presidency, his wings have been clipped. He's caged!

Seyi-man is just having fun and making quick bucks before the party is done. No long things.

If you ask me, I think "the babe in the other room" is a strong influence on baba and may be the hand moving the glove.

This insomnia is making me type heresy!
