Olubadan: Oriyomi Hamzat Slams Peter Obi for Calling Monarch “Dear Brother”, Video Ignites Reactions

• Broadcaster Oriyomi Hamzat has reacted to the name Peter Obi called the Olubadan after his coronation as the new monarch
• In a video, Hamzat stated that the politician disrespected the Yorubas, noting that even the president did not address the monarch in such a manner
• Fans, however, reacted to his comments, dragging him online and accusing him of attempting to stir up tribal conflict

Broadcaster Dr. Oriyomi Hamzat has reacted to the way Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, addressed the new Olubadan of Ibadan.

Recall that Oba Rashidi Ladoja was crowned as the new Olubadan amid pomp and pageantry, with many dignitaries from different walks of life present at the coronation and reception ceremony.

While addressing the new monarch, Peter Obi referred to him as “dear brother,” a statement that did not sit well with Oriyomi.

In a video shared on Instagram, the broadcaster, who had earlier changed the life of a young boy a few months ago, said Obi’s remark was disrespectful to the Yoruba people. He stressed that even the president, who was also at the event, did not address the monarch in such a manner.

Fans react to Oriyomi’s video

Reacting, fans of the media personality dragged him online, accusing him of trying to instigate tribal conflict between the Igbos and the Yorubas.

One person pointed out that even Atiku Abubakar addressed the monarch the same way, yet nobody raised an issue.

Another fan warned that people should focus on more important national matters instead of trivial issues.

She revealed the time when the number of people who trooped to benefit from her daughter's philanthropy became massive.

She also noted that politics was involved in what happened to the two people who attempted to help parents and children during the festive season. She begged Nigerians to help get her daughter out of detention, as she was just passionate about helping people.
