“Dele Momodu Slams Tinubu’s Wife Over Public Disgrace Of Osun Governor — Nigerians React With Fury!”
By Passman Akpos
In a fiery statement that has sent shockwaves across social media, renowned journalist and political commentator Dele Momodu condemned Mrs. Tinubu for publicly humiliating the Governor of Osun State during a recent event.
According to Momodu, “Mrs Tinubu is not an elected officer of government and has no role assigned to her in the Constitution of the Federal Republic. It is totally repugnant to openly disgrace, insult and bully the Chief Executive of Osun State before a global audience, including his own wife. She went too far.”
He further questioned her audacity, asking: “It is unbelievable that a self-professed Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God would frown at a Governor praising God. Would she have tried this with a Northern Governor reciting the Holy Koran before a speech? Why does she think her family owns Nigeria?”
The remarks have sparked a storm of reactions from Nigerians, many criticizing the First Lady for overstepping her bounds. Social media users weighed in:
“Power is transient and only temporal. The only legacy is what one does while in power. That’s what you’ll be remembered for either positively or negatively!”
“Very good question… will she have tried that with a Northern person reciting the Koran before a speech?”
“The God of David will answer her; it is only a matter of time.”
Questions have also arisen about the proper role of a First Lady, with citizens asking whether it is appropriate to hold political office while simultaneously acting in that capacity.
Observers noted the apparent political undertones, suggesting Mrs. Tinubu’s intervention may have been linked to party loyalty. “If he was an APC governor, she would also join in the praises,” one user commented, referencing a previous public confrontation involving another politician.
Others took a lighter, humorous view of the incident. One online commentator joked, “The governor would have started dancing if not quickly cautioned. They know him very well!”
As the controversy rages on, Nigerians remain eager to see how this clash between politics, faith, and protocol will unfold — and whether the First Lady will face any repercussions for her unprecedented public rebuke.
