The meeting of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and former President Olusegun Obasanjo in Owerri, Imo State yesterday, January 15, 2024 at the inauguration of Governor Hope Uzodimma as Imo State Governor for a second term, has continued to elicit interest across Nigeria and beyond.

The special interest is primarily because of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s hardline and open opposition to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s election as Nigeria’s President in 2023.

So, the public meeting of the two political opponents for the first time after the turbulent elections and their seeming warm embrace at the event have understandably become a major topic since yesterday.

Members of NewsOrient’s Editorial Board, after a prolonged discussion today on Nigerian politics, the outcome of 2023 Elections, political relationship between Tinubu and Obasanjo and Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma’s roles since his emergence as governor of the Southeast State, are forced to ask:

In these pictures, who is truly laughing?

What is he (they) laughing at?

Is this show mere politics or advanced statesmanship captured in colours?

Nigerians are really curious!
