Social media platforms have been awash with reactions after former First Lady Aisha Buhari, former senator Dino Melaye, businessman Ben Murray-Bruce and Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, were spotted together at a pre-wedding gathering in Marbella, Málaga, Spain.
The gathering was part of activities ahead of the wedding celebration of Saraya Danjuma and Bawa Salaka, according to reports.
A video from the event circulated widely on social media on Saturday, showing the Nigerian personalities among other guests at the gathering.
The event reportedly took place at La Cabane, a Dolce & Gabbana venue in Málaga, with several prominent Nigerians in attendance.
The presence of the personalities together attracted particular attention online because of their different public and political associations.
The video circulating online showed the group in a relaxed setting in Marbella as they attended events associated with the wedding celebrations.
The gathering generated mixed reactions, with some social media users questioning the sighting of prominent Nigerians together outside the country amid political differences and concerns over economic conditions in Nigeria.
Others, however, noted that the presence of public figures at the same private social event did not, by itself, establish any political alliance, agreement or coordinated activity among them.
One X user, @johnson_ogwu, wrote: “Millions are dying back home, the devil is better than these people.”
Another user, @Monday357745, commented: “They will be fighting in public, yet they dine and wine with each other in private. Life of politicians.”
Similarly, @millie_kash2 wrote: “They are all the same thing, they will disagree with themselves in Nigeria na movie them dey act for us, then go outside Nigeria to go and have fun together.”
Reacting to the gathering, @IFYNWABUEZE3 said: “Una think say na una get Nigeria abi? As una gather like this una pass the whole country? Isokay, let’s see how it goes.”
Another X user, @Coal004, criticised the gathering, writing: “See how comfortable they are. Omo, we are not even trying. These people just get too much audacity…”
Meanwhile, @ohamadike22140 focused on the apparent freedom of movement of the Nigerians at the gathering, writing: “No soldier or police with heavy arms sighted, they are all freely enjoying themselves, moving around with no single bodyguard in another man’s working country. Nigerians 💔.”
