A minor commotion occurred in Ile-Ife, Osun State, during the 10th coronation anniversary of Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, which also marked the installation of Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, as ‘Yeye Asiwaju Gbogbo Ile Oodua’. The First Lady interrupted Governor Ademola Adeleke while he was delivering his speech on stage.
A viral video of the incident, which happened on Sunday, shows Governor Adeleke singing as he addressed the audience. Senator Tinubu then approached the microphone, signaling that he needed to wrap up 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 reportedly told him quietly.
The brief interaction drew reactions from attendees, with some amused and others visibly surprised.
The event, attended by traditional rulers, political figures, and dignitaries from the South-West and beyond, was held to formally confer the traditional title on the First Lady in recognition of her contributions to the Yoruba community and the nation.
Despite the interruption, the ceremony continued smoothly. The video has since sparked varied reactions on social media, with viewers sharing different opinions about the exchange between Senator Tinubu and Governor Adeleke.
