Editorial Timeline: Lai Mohammed’s Political Milestones and Shifting
Influence
Lai Mohammed’s career in Nigerian
politics offers a fascinating study in adaptation, loyalty, and influence. His
trajectory from opposition spokesman to minister under Buhari, and now to
discreet supporter of Tinubu, illustrates how political figures evolve with
changing administrations while maintaining relevance.
Early Years in Opposition (2000s–2015) Mohammed first gained national prominence as the spokesperson for the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), later merging into the All Progressives Congress (APC). During this period, he became known for his relentless criticism of the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP). His sharp press statements and media interventions positioned him as the voice of opposition, often described as an “alternative government.” This visibility laid the foundation for his later ministerial appointment.

Alhaji
Lai Mohammed’s recent declaration of being “100 percent behind Tinubu’s
administration” marks a significant moment in his political trajectory.

Governor
Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s recent remarks at the All Progressives Congress (APC)
stakeholders’ meeting in Ondo State were more than routine political rhetoric;
they were seemingly, a deliberate attempt to frame the state’s internal cohesion as a
cornerstone of the party’s broader electoral strength.

weight in Tinubu’s 2027 re-election calculus

State sits at the intersection of regional pride, party machinery, and performance
politics in the South-West, an axis that has historically been decisive in
