Reports have emerged that Seyi Tinubu, Son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, recently visited Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, sparking controversy and speculation over political arrangements in Kaduna State.
According to sources on X, the meeting is linked to an alleged plan to have one of Sheikh Gumi’s sons contest for a seat in the Kaduna State House of Assembly under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The news has prompted strong reactions from Nigerians on social media, with many expressing concern over the perceived use of religious influence in political positioning. Critics lament the alleged arrangement, arguing that such deals could compromise transparency, fairness, and democratic principles in the electoral process.
Some commentators, however, view the visit as part of routine political engagement, cautioning against jumping to conclusions until official announcements or confirmations are made.
The controversy has intensified discussions around political endorsements, the role of religious leaders in politics, and the influence of prominent families in shaping state-level elections. As of now, neither Seyi Tinubu, Sheikh Gumi, nor APC officials have publicly commented on the alleged political arrangement.
