A video capturing a moment between Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Stanley Osifo Osayamen during a public event has gained attention after surfacing online and spreading across social media platforms.
The clip was shared on Sunday, May 24, 2026, through the official X account of theCable and quickly became a topic of discussion among political observers and supporters.
The video emerged shortly after the conclusion of the presidential primary election of the All Progressives Congress, where President Tinubu secured victory. Reports indicated that Osayamen was the only aspirant who contested against Tinubu during the party’s primary election process.
In the footage circulating online, Tinubu was seen interacting with Osayamen at the event in what appeared to be a friendly exchange. The President was also observed patting him on the back during the interaction, a gesture that drew attention because of the political context surrounding both individuals.
The encounter generated discussions online as many people focused on the significance of the moment, considering that the two politicians had recently competed during the party’s internal election process. For some observers, the scene reflected cordial relations and political maturity despite the competition that had taken place during the primaries.
While posting the video on its official X page, TheCable wrote:
“Stanley Osifo, sole challenger at the APC presidential primary, gets a standing ovation and a pat on the back from President Tinubu.”
