Osun Governor Faces Backlash for Appointing Igbo Woman with Biafra Views

Social media users have criticised Governor Adeleke for naming an Igbo woman with a history of pro-Biafra posts to a key Osun State role. Critics uncovered her past tweets on Biafra and called her selection a sign of poor vetting. One post read, “There is an ominous silence on Biafra... Until we address Biafra the trauma lingers!” Another warned that marginalisation fuels the Biafra debate. Netizens argued the appointment should have gone to a Yoruba candidate. Comments ranged from questions about due diligence to complaints that this move betrays Osun’s interests. Many asked why an appointee who “doesn’t believe in Nigeria” would serve in a major Yoruba state.
