Nigeria’s President Bola Ahmed Tinubu drew laughter from party loyalists after playfully teasing politician Stanley Osifo following his victory at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary.
Speaking shortly after clinching the party’s ticket, Tinubu turned to Osifo with a humorous remark: “At least you earned your money,” a comment that quickly stirred reactions among delegates and supporters at the venue.
The light-hearted exchange came amid celebrations after Tinubu secured a decisive win in the keenly contested primary, strengthening his grip on the ruling party ahead of the general election.
Observers described the moment as one of the more memorable highlights of the gathering, reflecting the mix of tension, relief and political theatre that often defines Nigeria’s high-stakes party primaries.
