In a recent development that has sparked lively discussions on social media and television, renowned media personality Yeni Kuti found herself embroiled in a heated exchange with Segun Sowunmi, a prominent chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), over Sowunmi’s visit to President Bola Tinubu.

Reports reveal that over the weekend, Sowunmi visited Tinubu at his residence in Lagos State. Sowunmi, who previously served as the spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, is known to be a vocal critic of the current administration. His visit, therefore, drew mixed reactions from the public and political observers alike.

The controversy intensified during Sowunmi’s appearance on TVC’s “Your View” program on Tuesday. It was during this interview that the clash with Yeni Kuti unfolded. When asked by one of the hosts, “When are you moving to the APC?”—a reference to the party of President Tinubu—Kuti directly addressed Sowunmi.

She remarked, “You’ve had a lot of criticism for the president, and now your tune seems to have changed after your visit. So, when is your move? When are you leaving PDP to join APC?”

Sowunmi responded defensively, saying, “Although I don’t know who is asking those questions, I didn’t come to your program so you can be cheeky with me. Please, stop that.”

In return, Kuti retorted, “I can’t be cheeky with you because I’m sure I’m older than you.”

Sowunmi, acknowledging her age, replied with humour, “Oh,h sister! My aunt! I take that back. Please don’t be angry.”

Yeni Kuti didn’t hold back, firing a final remark: “I’m not your aunt.”

This sudden clash has garnered widespread attention, showcasing the vibrant and often unpredictable nature of Nigerian political and social discourse. As conversations around loyalty, criticism, and political allegiance continue to evolve, this encounter between Yeni Kuti and Sowunmi reminds us that even in the world of politics and media, personal boundaries and respect still play a vital role.
