Nigeria’s First Lady Remi Tinubu caused a stir when she publicly interrupted Governor Ademola Adeleke at a public event in Osun State and threatened to switch off his microphone because he sang during his speech.
The incident occurred on Sunday, December 7, 2025, in Ile-Ife when the Ooni of Ife inaugurated the First Lady, Yeye Asiju Gbogbo Ile Oodua.
A widely circulated video captured the moment Governor Adeleke, known for his singing and dancing, interrupted his official address to sing a worship song. The first lady then took to the podium to deliver a stern warning to him.
Someone saw her and said:
“I’ll give you five minutes to finish your speech, with enough music, or I’ll turn off the microphone.”
The development quickly sparked controversy on social media, with many users questioning her public conduct toward the now-governor.
Comments include:
“This is unacceptable public behavior. There are better ways to communicate time limits than threatening to cut off the governor’s microphone,” U_y_a_i wrote.
