Inside the Five Cabals Shaping President Tinubu’s Administration

In a recent interview on the State Affairs podcast, a political analyst identified five distinct power blocs within President Bola Tinubu’s government. The first group is led by the president’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila. The second revolves around the president’s son, Seyi Tinubu, who is said to influence key appointments including the Youth Minister. A third cabal centers on First Lady Remi Tinubu’s own sphere of influence. The fourth consists of younger allies and associates around the president. Finally, President Tinubu himself heads a core faction that holds direct decision-making power. These divisions reveal how authority is distributed and decisions are shaped at the highest level of Nigeria’s executive branch.
