Several reactions have emerged online following comments made by Nigerian publisher, Dele Momodu, in response to statements by SDP chieftain and former presidential candidate, Adewole Adebayo, regarding President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The discussion began when Adewole Adebayo claimed that President Tinubu has been using his position to advance his international business interests. Speaking on the matter, Adebayo said:
"He is more of an international businessman. He is using his office as a ladder, as a platform to promote his international business."
After Adebayo’s remarks circulated online, Dele Momodu shared his perspective on the issue through a post on his official X account on Friday, March 27, 2026.
In his post, Momodu emphasized the objectivity of the Yoruba people, suggesting that their cultural values allow them to evaluate matters fairly, even when it involves someone from their own community.
He wrote:
"I have always maintained that the Yoruba people are extremely objective people. It does not matter if their son or daughter is the President."
Momodu’s statement has since prompted a variety of reactions on social media. Many users praised his assertion, highlighting that fairness and accountability should transcend ethnic or regional loyalty.
Others discussed the broader implications of public office and personal business interests, noting that scrutiny of leaders is an essential aspect of democratic governance.
The conversation sparked by both Adebayo and Momodu has generated lively debate among social media users, with many sharing opinions on the balance between leadership responsibilities and personal business activities.
Some also reflected on the role of culture and community values in shaping public discourse in Nigeria.
