In a dramatic revelation that has sent shockwaves across the digital space, popular X (formerly Twitter) user @DGov has alleged a high-level plot involving President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s sudden return from Europe and the hasty defection of four prominent PDP governors—all strategically timed ahead of a potentially explosive disclosure from the United States.
According to DGov, President Tinubu cut short his European visit amid an imminent release of his long-speculated narcotics records by the FBI and CIA, now reportedly scheduled for May 2, 2025. The abrupt return, it is claimed, is a preemptive move to suppress the fallout. Sources suggest that the administration is gearing up to clamp down on social media platforms and disrupt internet services on that day to prevent widespread circulation of the documents.
But that’s not where the story ends.
In what critics are calling a “masterclass in political misdirection,” four influential PDP governors—Umo Eno (Akwa Ibom), Ahmadu Fintiri (Adamawa), Sheriff Oborevwori (Delta), and Siminalayi Fubara (Rivers)—were allegedly compelled to announce their defection to the ruling APC on April 24, 2025, a full five months earlier than the initially planned September timeline.
Political analysts now believe the governors’ crossover is a carefully orchestrated distraction—an attempt to dominate the media narrative and drown out coverage of the damning narcotics report.
Insiders also suggest the defection deal comes with hefty rewards: immunity from prosecution and guaranteed second-term tickets for those eligible. For others who have completed their tenure, protection from anti-corruption probes is reportedly part of the bargain.
The move paints a grim picture of a democracy under siege, where loyalty is bought, opposition muzzled, and the fight against corruption sacrificed on the altar of political survival.
It has also emerged that President Tinubu had previously petitioned U.S. courts to block the release of his criminal records, citing reputational harm and potential damage to his family’s integrity. Despite lobbying efforts involving foreign consultants and overtures to the Trump-led U.S. administration, the court insisted on full disclosure.
These developments have reignited fears among Nigerians who are increasingly uneasy with what many describe as autocratic tendencies under Tinubu’s leadership. Not long ago, the President reportedly suspended an elected governor under questionable pretenses, raising constitutional concerns. Equally disturbing are reports that Tinubu frequently travels abroad without formally transferring power to Vice President Kashim Shettima, leaving governance in limbo—as was the case during his recent three-week European tour.
There are also whispers from within Aso Rock that a state of emergency may be declared in select Northern states, including Kano, as a means to tighten political control ahead of the 2027 elections.
@DGov, in her impassioned post, called on Nigerians to resist what she describes as “the hijacking of democracy by anti-democratic forces cloaked in civilian attire.” She urges citizens to ignore the choreographed defections and focus on the real issue at hand—the narcotics dossier and its implications on Nigeria’s image and credibility on the world stage.
“The nation’s reputation is under threat. We must not be distracted by political theatre when what’s at stake is our collective future,” DGov warned. “Let’s flood every social media platform with the truth. The drug records matter. The people deserve to know.”
As May 2 approaches, all eyes are on the FBI—and on Nigeria.
