First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Oluremi Tinubu has sent a congratulatory message to the wife of Ademola Adeleke, Governor of Osun State on the occasion of her birthday.
This felicitation comes amid growing public interest in a recent viral video featuring the First Lady and the Governor.
In her message, Tinubu wrote:
“I join your husband, the Governor of Osun State … your children, family, friends and loved ones to celebrate you, as you mark this milestone of 60 years.”
She lauded Mrs. Adeleke’s dedication to the people of Osun through the Renewed Hope Initiative, and prayed that her special day be filled with joy, love, and cherished moments.
That message would have remained a standard political courtesy — but what has made it trending is a recent video capturing a moment between the First Lady and the Governor during a public appearance in Osun.
In the clip, the First Lady appears to approach Governor Adeleke while he was on stage, interrupting him and urging him to proceed with his official duties rather than continue with a performance.
The incident, widely circulated on social media has ignited discussions and speculation.
The buzz around the video has drawn renewed scrutiny to both political figures, giving the birthday message an unexpected added layer of context.
However, the message coming soon after the controversy might serve multiple political motivations: reaffirming goodwill, preserving unity among political elites, and defusing tension from public reactions.
