Nollywood actor Ganiyu Nafiu, popularly known as Alapini Oosa, recently met with Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Tinubu. The encounter, which also included actress Fathia Balogun Williams, quickly attracted attention on social media, with photos from the meeting sparking controversy. Neither party has disclosed details of their discussion, leaving the purpose of the meeting unclear.
Alapini Oosa’s meeting with Seyi Tinubu follows the actor’s public expression of disappointment over not being recognized or compensated for his support of President Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress during the 2023 general election. Having campaigned for the president, the veteran actor felt overlooked after two years of Tinubu’s tenure, a grievance he aired a few months before the recent encounter.
His endorsement was considered significant in the election campaign, and his subsequent regret highlighted the complexities of political endorsements and the expectations they generate. The fact that Alapini Oosa has now met with Seyi Tinubu suggests there may be efforts to address his concerns or to rebuild the relationship, though the outcome remains uncertain.
As the situation develops, observers will watch to see whether this meeting leads to any changes in the actor’s relationship with the presidency or the APC. For now, the encounter remains a subject of interest and speculation among followers of Nigerian politics and entertainment.
