Ahead of the 2027 election, Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, on Friday, September 19, declared that President Bola Tinubu will again emerge victorious in the next presidential poll.
In a post on his verified X (formerly Twitter) account, Omokri, a prominent social media personality, described President Tinubu as "the master of the game" amid a visit to Kaduna state on Friday, September 19.
Tinubu attended the wedding ceremony between Nasirudeen Yari and Safiyya Shehu Idris during the visit. Nasirudeen is the son of the senator representing Zamfara West, Abdul’aziz Yari.
President Tinubu also paid a courtesy visit to Aisha, the widow of the late former president of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, at the family residence in Kaduna.

At Senator Yari's son's wedding, President Tinubu met one of his fiercest critics, Sule Lamido.
Citing a trending video of both men exchanging pleasantries, Omokri noted that President Tinubu "interacted with his political enemies as though they were friends."
Omokri wrote:
"In Kaduna, President Tinubu showed why he is the master of the game who will win again in 2027.
"During his ongoing Kaduna trip, President Tinubu again displayed the qualities that will ensure he wins the 2027 elections. He interacted with his political enemies as though they were friends. He smiled with those who piled insults on him. He played with others who sprayed unprintable words at him. Took selfies with people who called him selfish.
"The man is a master of the game. He kills his opponents with kindness and overwhelms his foes with prose that deepens their woes."

He added:
"Did you see him with Sule Lamido? Mr. Lamido approached Asiwaju Tinubu, looking like he did not know what to expect. Immediately, the President put him at ease by cracking a joke with him and then engaging in banter. Before you knew it, Mr. Lamido was blushing. Then he melted and began to engage with warmth directed at the President.
"In the military, this strategy is called stooping to conquer. And it is brutally effective!"
Tinubu is serving as the 16th and current president of Nigeria since May 2023.
He was elected president, defeating the likes of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi.
General elections will be held in Nigeria in 2027, and incumbent President Tinubu is widely expected to run for a second term under the All Progressives Congress (APC).
