Former Osun Governor Aregbesola’s 68th Birthday Sparks Buzz Over Wife’s Reaction to Controversial Song
A video from the 68th birthday celebration of former Osun State Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, is making waves online not for the celebration of the event, but for a striking moment between the celebrant and his wife, Alhaja Sherifat Aregbesola.
In the viral clip, the former governor can be seen dancing enthusiastically to a song that many have described as politically charged and potentially controversial. While the celebrant appeared to be enjoying the moment, his wife’s reaction quickly drew attention.
Alhaja Sherifat, seated nearby, was seen gesturing towards her husband in what observers interpreted as a call for restraint. Her demeanor suggested disapproval or concern, prompting widespread speculation on social media about the meaning behind her reaction.
Although neither Aregbesola nor his wife has publicly commented on the video, many Nigerians have weighed in with their interpretations. Some believe the former First Lady was attempting to prevent her husband from making a political statement through his choice of music and dance, while others see it as a simple, personal interaction being blown out of proportion.
The incident has reignited discussions around Aregbesola’s political career, especially his perceived relationship with his political allies and rivals. As a prominent figure in Osun State and within the All Progressives Congress (APC), Aregbesola has remained a subject of public interest even after leaving office.
The birthday celebration itself was a well attended affair, drawing friends, political associates, and supporters from across the country.
