Oluremi Tinubu Threatens To Switch Off Governor Adeleke’s Microphone Over Singing At Public Event
Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, sparked reactions after she warned Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke over prolonged singing during a public event in Ile-Ife.
The incident occurred on Sunday during Mrs. Tinubu’s installation as Yeye Asiwaju Gbogbo Ile Oodua. A video trending on social media shows Governor Adeleke singing worship songs while delivering a speech.
At one point, the First Lady approached the stage and cautioned him to finish, signaling that she could switch off the microphone if he continued. She was seen mouthing words that read: “I give you five minutes to conclude your speech, enough with the music, or I will switch off the microphone.”
The encounter has sparked debate online, with many questioning the appropriateness of verbally warning a governor at a public ceremony. Some users described the intervention as heavy-handed, while others saw it as a straightforward way to manage the event’s schedule.
Social media continues to buzz with discussions over the incident, with reactions ranging from amusement to criticism of the First Lady’s conduct.
