Remi Tinubu, Nigerian First Lady, caused a stir recently when she threatened to switch off governor Ademola Adeleke’s microphone for singing at an event.
The incident took place in Ile-Ife in Osun State on Sunday, during the first lady’s installation as Yeye Asiwaju Gbogbo Ile Oodua.
A trending video on social media captured the governor singing worship songs while giving a speech at the event.
Interrupting Adeleke, Remi Tinubu walked to the stage to warn him to stop singing or she would switch off the microphone.
She was seen mouthing words that said, “I give you five minutes to conclude your speech, enough with the music, or I will switch off the microphone”.
The development has sparked controversy on social media, with many questioning the quality of her character for verbally warning a governor like that at a public event.
