Kiddwaya’s defense of Chief Priest has further fueled the debate. While some, like @RoamGosip, argue that Chief Priest is protecting his business interests—a common practice in Nigeria—others, such as @Somtobechukwu, call Kiddwaya “out-of-touch,” suggesting the backlash isn’t about hate but rather Chief Priest’s perceived tone-deafness.

@Kanayo questions the significance of meeting a president in a “crippled country” like Nigeria, reflecting broader disillusionment with the political system under Tinubu, who assumed office in May 2023. The controversy also ties into broader political narratives, such as Tinubu’s recent appointments of northerners to federal agencies, which some see as an effort to balance regional representation, as reported by AllAfrica on the same day.
This context adds layers to the public’s reaction, with @HYPEMAN noting northern support for Tinubu, potentially impacting his 2027 re-election chances. Meanwhile, @DeadPoet highlights the hypocrisy of critics, suggesting many would act similarly if given the chance to meet the president. This incident underscores the complex relationship between Nigerian celebrities and politics, especially amidst economic challenges.
