Yesterday, May 29,
2020, was the 60th birthday of the Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun.
Because of the fight
against Covid-19, Governor Abiodun in an attempt to show that he leads by
example declared in special birthday message posted on his social media handle
‘’I will be celebrating at home today with my family, keeping in mind the need
to avoid a large gathering. This is in light of the mood and situation of the
Nation. Let’s all also remember this and other measures in our different places
of business, at home or anywhere else.’’.
The Governor later
held a virtual birthday ‘’celebration’’ plus thanks-giving which was
broadcasted on his social media handle – one his Facebook page, Prince Dapo
Abiodun – MFR – and which closed the celebration.
The Governor later
released pictures taken during the virtual party, with family and participants
at the event – Including popular Pastor, Adejare Adeboye - which held via zoom.
Embattled Speaker of
the Lagos State House of Assembly Mudashiru Obasa has, however, thrown a
spanner into what has been widely branded a ‘’tidy arrangement worthy of great
applause’’.
Obasa – through his
chief spokesperson – posted pictures with Governor Abiodun in identifying with
him on his 60th birthday celebration.
The pictures came with
the short post ‘’Rt. Hon. ( Dr.) Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, the Speaker, Lagos
House of Assembly and Chairman, Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures in
Nigeria, felicitates with His Excellency, Governor, Dapo Abiodun, the Governor
of the good people of Ogun State, on the occasion of his 60th birthday and
first year in office as governor’’
Naijacelebrities.net
gathered that this development has sparked off a controversy over whether
Governor Abiodun sneakily snagged a 60th in violation of the rules of
engagement in the fight against Covid-19 or not.
The pictures in
Obasa’s message is been interpreted as ‘’taken yesterday’’ claim insiders
insist is false.
There was no party,
Governor Abiodun only had the virtual party and that was it those who should
know confirmed to naijacelebrities.net.
Naijacelebrtites.net’s
investigation confirmed this but ‘’ mischief-makers’’ continue to claim there
was a party based on the pictures posted by Obaso who is battling a mountain of
corruption allegations as Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly.
This claim of there
was another is hinged primarily on the fact that Governor Abiodun wore matching
clothes in the virtual party images and the pictures posted by Obasa’s aide –
same day.
The message which
accompanied the pictures in the birthday greetings embattled Obasa is also been
‘’slated’’ to favor the ‘’another 60th birthday party narrative’’ because it
labeled ‘’suggestive’’.
