Drama As Tinubu’s Wife Interrupts Osun Governor Adeleke At Public Event

A mild drama unfolded in Ile-Ife, Osun State, during the 10th coronation anniversary of Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, and installation of Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, as the ‘Yeye Asiwaju Gbogbo Ile Oodua’, when the latter interrupted the State governor, Ademola Adeleke, when he was about to deliver his speech on the podium.

The incident, which took place on Sunday, was captured in a viral video circulating online.

In the clip, Governor Adeleke was seen singing a song while addressing the audience at the event. As he continued, Senator Tinubu stepped forward toward the microphone, indicating that it was time for him to conclude his speech.

“I’ll give you five minutes to conclude your speech. Enough with the music, or I’ll switch off the microphone,” the First Lady was heard telling the governor in a low tone.

The brief exchange drew reactions from guests at the ceremony, with some appearing amused while others looked on in surprise.

The epoch-making event, which was attended by traditional rulers, political leaders, and dignitaries from across the South-West and beyond, was organised to formally confer the traditional title on the First Lady in recognition of her contributions to the Yoruba community and the nation at large.

Despite the interruption, the ceremony proceeded without any further disruption.

As of Monday, the video continued to generate mixed reactions on social media, with viewers sharing varying opinions on the public exchange between the First Lady Tinubu and Governor Adeleke.
