• The interviewer said some viewers expected him to focus on Obasanjo’s political career, but that was not the purpose of his programme
• Isbae U explained that he wanted Nigerians to see a side of the former president that is rarely displayed in traditional public appearances

Nigerian content creator Adebayo Ridwan Abidemi, popularly known as Isbae U, has explained why his interview with former President Olusegun Obasanjo did not focus heavily on politics.

The appearance on Curiosity Made Me Ask attracted attention because of Obasanjo’s long public career and the show’s unconventional approach to interviews.

According to Isbae U, some viewers expected him to use the opportunity to question Obasanjo about politics and national issues.

However, he said that was not what his programme was created for.

“Some people expected me to ask former President Olusegun Obasanjo political questions,” the content creator said.

He explained that the idea behind Curiosity Made Me Ask is to reveal another side of prominent personalities that audiences may not ordinarily see.

Isbae U said his intention was to place Obasanjo in a different environment and allow viewers to experience a less conventional side of the former president.

“I’m sure you guys haven’t seen Baba in these settings,” he added.

The interview subsequently featured humorous exchanges and unusual questions, with Obasanjo also turning some of the questions back on his host.
