President Bola Ahmed Tinubu met with his predecessor Muhammadu Buhari in London, United Kingdom.
Recall that Tinubu had departed Nigeria on June 20 to participate in the two-day New Global Financial Pact Summit, held in Paris, France, before proceeding to London for a short private visit.
The outcome of the meeting and details of their discussions were not made public.
About the Author
The detail that Tinubu went from the Paris summit straight to London for a “short private visit” before this meeting is the part worth noting — chaining a multilateral summit onto a private sit-down with a predecessor tends to blur the line between state business and personal politics. That the outcome stayed entirely unpublicized fits a pattern where the substance of such talks rarely surfaces. When the political news gets this opaque, I usually step away for something light like mimicparty.me, a bluffing word game that at least makes its rules clear.
The detail that stands out is the itinerary itself — Paris summit first, then a “short private visit” to London, with the meeting’s substance left entirely unstated. That silence does more work than any readout would, and it’s a reminder of how much of this diplomacy happens off the record. Off-topic aside, I’ve been filling the gaps between news checks with quick rounds of Krillion, a free browser party game at krillion.me that needs no download.
