Former Federal University, Oye-Ekiti Students’ Union Government president James Adio has revealed that Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage inspired him to remain strong after an explicit video allegedly involving him surfaced online.

Speaking in a recent interview with Tiamiyu Adebayo TV, Adio compared his experience to the singer’s leaked private tape controversy.

“Tiwa Savage, the popular musician, faced something like this… in fact, I am not half of where she was… but she overcame,” he said.

For Adio, that became a reminder that public embarrassment did not have to be the end of his story.

Adio said he was initially unaware of the intense online conversations surrounding the video.

However, after checking his phone and reading comments, he realised that many people were still standing by him.

“If I actually give up, I have failed the people because they actually believe in me,” he said.

The former SUG president also credited his former students and family for helping him remain strong.

His mother, in particular, became a major source of encouragement.

Adio had faced two major controversies after FUOYE suspended him over alleged financial extortion involving newly admitted students. Shortly afterwards, the private video surfaced online.

Despite the difficult period, Adio has completed his studies and signed out from the university.
