Linus Williams, the businessman better known as Blord, has raised eyebrows online after photos from his Kano state visit showed him rocking a branded cap associated with former Kano Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso.
The visit has sparked conversation because it comes just months after activist and politician Omoyele Sowore helped secure Blord's release from Kuje Prison, and Sowore is running under a completely different political banner ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Sharing a photo of himself in the Kwankwaso cap, Blord captioned the post with warm words about the northern state and closed with a phrase that caught many people's attention.
"Kano is good, Kano is peaceful, Kano is welcoming. I love Kano so much and I will come back again! May God bless Kano. NIGERIA 🇳🇬 MUST BE OK," he wrote.
The phrase "Nigeria Must Be OK" is widely associated with the 2027 presidential campaigns of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). Its appearance in Blord's caption, combined with the Kwankwaso-branded cap, has led many followers to question where exactly his political loyalties now lie.
Sowore, who helped secure Blord's freedom, is the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), a separate opposition platform. The apparent shift in imagery, so close to the 2027 election cycle, has not gone unnoticed.
