 ‘I’ll turn off the mic’ — Remi Tinubu reins in Adeleke’s singing at Ooni’s anniversary First Lady Oluremi Tinubu cautioned Ademola Adeleke, the Osun state governor, for prolonged singing during his remarks at the 10th coronation anniversary celebration of Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife. The moment, captured in a now-viral video, occurred as the governor mounted the podium on Sunday to pay tribute to the monarch and to congratulate the Remi on her newly bestowed chieftaincy title, Yeye Asiwaju Gbogbo Ile Oodua. Rather than proceed immediately with his formal message, Adeleke, popularly known as the “Dancing Governor” for his spirited public appearances, burst into a short musical chant, drawing laughter from parts of the audience.

 Nigeria’s Challenges Stem from Constitution Operators, Not the Document Itself – Obasanjo


Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has declared that Nigeria’s persistent challenges are not primarily due to flaws in the constitution but rather the actions of those responsible for implementing it. Speaking through a letter read at the National Summit on the Future of Nigeria’s Constitutional Democracy at Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, Obasanjo emphasized the need for good governance and a focus on citizens’ welfare over constitutional amendments.


Addressing the summit’s chairman, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, Obasanjo acknowledged that while Nigeria’s constitution may require amendments, its effectiveness hinges on the integrity of its operators. “A nation’s constitution must reflect the history, constituents, and aspirations of its people and be sacrosanct,” he stated. “However, from my experience, no constitution is perfect. The most critical issue is the operators of the constitution.”


Obasanjo warned that even a well-crafted constitution could be undermined by misuse or manipulation. He expressed greater concern about the conduct of those in power over the past decade and a half, accusing them of prioritizing “selfishness, self-centredness, corruption, impunity, and total disregard for the constitution, decency, morality, integrity, and honesty.”


He urged a shift in focus toward selecting capable and principled leaders, asserting that the right operators would drive necessary constitutional reforms to make every Nigerian a proud stakeholder in the nation. “No matter what changes are made to the constitution, if the operators remain unchanged, the welfare and well-being of Nigerians will continue to suffer,” Obasanjo concluded.
