Sowunmi, who previously served as the spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar, the PDP\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>The controversy intensified during Sowunmi&#8217;s appearance on TVC\u2019s \u201cYour View\u201d program on Tuesday. It was during this interview that the clash with Yeni Kuti unfolded. When asked by one of the hosts, \u201cWhen are you moving to the APC?\u201d\u2014a reference to the party of President Tinubu\u2014Kuti directly addressed Sowunmi.<\/p>\n<p>She remarked, \u201cYou\u2019ve 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?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sowunmi responded defensively, saying, \u201cAlthough I don\u2019t know who is asking those questions, I didn\u2019t come to your program so you can be cheeky with me. Please, stop that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In return, Kuti retorted, \u201cI can\u2019t be cheeky with you because I\u2019m sure I\u2019m older than you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sowunmi, acknowledging her age, replied with humour, \u201cOh,h sister! My aunt! I take that back. Please don\u2019t be angry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yeni Kuti didn\u2019t hold back, firing a final remark: \u201cI\u2019m not your aunt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6876,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6875","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beadysword.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beadysword.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beadysword.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beadysword.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beadysword.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6875"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/beadysword.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6875\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6877,"href":"https:\/\/beadysword.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6875\/revisions\/6877"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beadysword.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6876"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beadysword.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beadysword.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beadysword.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
