President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Friday visited the family of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari in Kaduna State. The visit took place shortly after Tinubu arrived in the state to attend the wedding of Nasirudeen Yari, son of former Zamfara governor, Abdul’aziz Yari.

The president’s condolence visit has stirred reactions across social media. While some Nigerians commended Tinubu for showing respect to the family of his predecessor, others accused him of using the visit as a political strategy to win support in the North ahead of 2027. Critics argued that the president’s continuous shuttles across northern states are more about “political survival” than genuine concern.

On the other hand, supporters praised Tinubu’s gesture, noting that it was only right to stand with the family of a former Nigerian leader. They described it as an act of friendship and respect, dismissing claims of political desperation.

The reactions highlight the sharp divide in public opinion, with some seeing the president’s moves as necessary diplomacy, while others view them as signs of weakness. As the nation continues to grapple with economic reforms, political undertones remain strong in every step taken by the presidency.
