Charles Omole, author of From Soldier to Statesman, has stated there are five cabals within President Bola Tinubu's government.

During an interview on Politics Today, a Channels Television program,on Thursday, Omole identified the first cabal as being led by the President himself.

He also mentioned other groups, including the Femi Gbajabiamila–Wike group, the Seyi Tinubu group, and the First Lady, Remi Tinubu's 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.
