"Our guest today used to work for me. I paid his salary, I paid for his rent in Aso Rock, and I fed him from 1999 to 2007," the host said, to the clear amusement of the room.

He then called for "a round of applause for our president," before cheekily adding that the former head of state should have asked for permission before reaching for the water.

The satirical intro set the tone for what was clearly an unconventional sit-down between a veteran statesman and one of Nigeria's most irreverent digital voices.

The clip spread rapidly across social media after it was posted, with fans praising Isbae U for landing such a significant and unexpected guest. Many were visibly impressed, while others could not resist the opportunity for political humour.
