Don’t Amplify My Minor Missteps – Remi Tinubu Tells Nigerians Amid Controversy With Osun Governor Adeleke

Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has addressed the growing controversy over her conduct at the 10th year coronation anniversary of the Ooni of Ife, Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi

At the event, where she was also conferred with the title Yeye Asiwaju Gbogbo Ile Oodua, she had asked Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, to stop singing or she would put off his microphone.

The incident occurred on Sunday as Governor Adeleke mounted the podium to pay tribute to the Ooni of Ife and to her over the chieftaincy title.

“Enough with the music, or I’ll switch off the microphone,” she said, before telling the governor he had “five minutes to conclude” his remarks.

Reacting to the growing public backlash that followed, she stated on her Facebook page that followers tend to amplify minor missteps.

She made these comments while posting a photo of herself with the Osun State governor on Facebook.

Those entrusted with leadership understand their duties and how to steer the affairs of society. More often, it is the followers and critics who scrutinize every step, amplify minor missteps, and turn them into needless controversy,” she noted.
