President Alpha Conde of Guinea was in Nigeria to lobby for his friend Bola Tinubu to replace President Muhammadu Buhari, Naijaparry reports.

“Yes, the Guinean president is in Daura to celebrate the Eid-el-Kabir festive occasion with President Buhari but it is a strategic visit as he wants to use the occasion to lobby for his friend, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu,” the source told Daily Independent.

“He decided to meet President Buhari in Daura when the president is on break because it will afford them to have a heart-to-heart talk compared to the tight schedule at the Villa.

“We all know the role Tinubu played in his reelection, so I think Condé believes that one good turn deserves another and this explains why he has come all the way from Guinea to intervene on Tinubu’s behalf.”
