Tinubu and Buhari’s relationship
President Tinubu’s visit to Katsina would be the first of its kind since taking over power from former President Buhari on May 29, 2023. Buhari, a native of Daura in Kaduna state, was a two-term president of Nigeria and his tenure ended in 2023.
The former president was elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), a political party which was formed ahead of the 2015 general election. The party was a conglomeration of the Congress of Progressive Change (CPC), which was under the leadership of Buhari, Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) under Tinubu, and some other political parties, including a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Tinubu and Buhari’s relationship became solidified ahead of the 2015 election, in which the party defeated the incumbent former President Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP, making it the first of its kind in Nigeria’s history.
