Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, disclosed on Tuesday that the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, once saved him from media blackmail while he was in the Senate.
“We don’t sleep till 4 a.m. most times. They (the media) were not listening to me, and I almost fell for their blackmail. So I ran to Mama (First Lady) when she was going to Lagos, and I told her that I wanted to ask her something. I said I was sleeping, and the media came to me and said they saw me sleeping, and it seemed they wanted to collect something from me.
“She told me, ‘Ma da won lohun’ (don’t answer them), let them go and write whatever thing they want to write, and tell them that you are a human being because they have done that to her before. I made use of what she told me. That helped me out of paying a lot of money. So anytime we have issues, we always go to her because of her wealth of experience.”
