Inside Track: 10 Nigerians influential with a direct line to depths …

In the lively corridors of Abuja, the influence often whispers rather than shouts. While many go for attention and favor in the spotlight, a quiet elite operates behind closed doors: strings, modeling the decisions and guiding the hand of the most powerful man of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

These 10 individuals – political veterans compounds, real fathers, loyal helpers and tight allies – can only dream only: quick, often exclusive access to the president. From appointments to contracts and political interventions, their influence is of vast scope. The investigations of Exclusivebigstory.com reveal the hidden architecture of the power that surrounds the presidency, where access can cost millions and results are decided long before the announcements are made.

1. Seyi Tinubu – the President’s son

Seyi Tinubu, lawyer and businessman trained in the United Kingdom, plays a fundamental role in the gatekeeping of the influence corridors. Operating from an Asakoro office, according to what reported, Seyi charged “secretarial commissions” of ₦ 5 million for access, with successful lobbying that often lead to appointments or presidential contracts. He is attributed the merit of helping the emergence of the governor of Sokoto Ahmad Aliyu and is currently pressing the Governors of the North for the youth ministries.

2. Oba Rilwan Akiolu – LAGOS OBA

As a former assistant to the police inspector and revered Lagos Monarch, the oscillation of Oba Akiolu reaches the ASO ROCK. The professionals say that one of his calls, even during the meetings of the Federal Executive Council, sends immediate attention. His word remains law in the political circles of Lagos.

3. Ogiame Atumwatse III – Warri’s Olu

Beyond its real duties, Warri’s Olu is a key player in the Tinubu internal circle. Linked to the president through family connections, it is a discreet but strategic influencer in federal appointments, in particular relating to the Niger delta.

4. Hakeem Muri-Okunola-Chief Private Secretary of the President

Known in the clubs of Villa as “walls”, this trusted administrator balances access to the president. Presumably he brought the Council of Seyi Tinubu, Muri is now a central figure in the coordination of appointments and in the presidential programming, acting as a bearing between Tinubu and other helpers.

A businessman of oil and aged gas, Adeyeba’s Wuse 2 residence has become a power hub. His long -standing loyalty towards Tinubu has raised him to a trusted connector, with his influence that extends over the highest levels of both the government and business.

6. Prince Dipo Elodoyin – silent kingmaker

Discreet and powerful, Eludoyin’s Maitama’s residence is often full of political and corporate elites looking for favor. Known to be even more effective than Seyi in guaranteeing federal positions, Eludoyin enjoys an unparalleled trust by the president, who has publicly praised him for his 77th birthday.

7. Alhaji Uba Dan’rewa – The Northern Insider

From the state of Adamawa, Dan’rewa is a low but impactful northern influencer. It is said that he is an opponent of the vice -president Shettimo and an ally of the National Security Councilor. Within the northern political networks, his voice brings a strategic weight.

The former governor of the state of Ogun and journalistic icon remains an appreciated consultant of Tinubu. His intuitions on public perception, political strategy and governance give him continuous relevance in the national decision -making process.

9. Capo Bisi Akande – Political oracle

One of the first political allies of Tinubu, the former governor of the state of Osun plays the role of the elderly statesman and the crisis resolver. Recently sent to mediate the disputes in the Lagos policy, the head Akande remains a vital voice in the political calculation of Tinubu.

Although publicly known publicly, the main imam of the Utako Jibwis mosque has a profound spiritual influence on President Tinubu. According to reports, his advice on issues of faith, governance and appointments is treated with the utmost gravity by the president.

Conclusion: The influence gatekeeper

These ten figures form an unofficial but powerful internal ring around the presidency of Tinubu. Their influence does not derive from public offices, but from strategic proximity, personal trust and long -term relationships. In the current political panorama of Nigeria, the shortest path towards power often crosses one of them, not necessarily through the protocol or performance.

In a system where access is currency and loyalty is the leverage, these individuals remain their invisible hands behind many of the decisions visible in the Nigeria of Tinubu.
