Segun Showunmi, a former spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 elections, spent part of the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations with President Bola Tinubu.
On Sunday evening, Sowunmi, a chieftain of the PDP, via his X account, shared a photo of him standing next to Tinubu.
“Sallah Day 3! I spent quality time with the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, @officialABAT GCFR. It was engaging and nostalgic,” the PDP chieftain wrote.
Showunmi’s post comes at a time when several lawmakers from opposition parties, including the PDP, have defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The wave of defections has sparked concern among opposition leaders about their political footing ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In April, the PDP chieftain said the party would not be forced into a nebulous coalition.
He noted that individuals are free to align politically but said parties like the PDP must be approached with clarity and respect for their ideology and structure.
Showunmi also said his former boss, Abubakar, who is pushing for the coalition, would still have to formally consult with the PDP.
Showunmi is not the only ally of the former vice-president who has recently spent “quality time” with the president.
His visit adds to a growing list of interactions between Tinubu and figures once firmly aligned with the opposition, raising questions about shifting loyalties ahead of 2027.
Last November, Tinubu appointed Daniel Bwala, the spokesperson for the Atiku Abubakar campaign in 2023, as his special adviser on public communications and media.
