In other news….. Oseloka Obi, son of Nigerian politician Peter Obi, has responded to the circulation of viral photos showing him alongside London-based British-Nigerian gay man, Kent Okwesa.

The images, which surfaced online on Wednesday, August 2025, captured both men seated closely together in a restaurant.

Addressing the online buzz, Oseloka clarified in a statement that his profession in theatre and filmmaking naturally brings him in contact with individuals of diverse backgrounds, identities, and sexual orientations.

He further emphasized that Nigeria is grappling with far more pressing national challenges, urging the public to focus on those rather than speculating about his personal life.

His statement reads in part:

“I understand that gossip follows those connected to public life, but let me remind you: my father is the one in politics, not me. To assume that my life or choices are somehow political statements is a flawed and childish calculation. It reveals more about the pettiness of those spreading such narratives than it does about me or my father.

“This pattern has become all too familiar: individuals opposed to my father seize ordinary photos of me images that are neither hidden nor secret and repackage them with false stories. These are not revelations. They are not ‘exposés.’ They are simply misrepresentations fiction spun from pictures. I have seen this happen to others, but experiencing it myself repeatedly is deeply unsettling. Still, I want it to be known clearly: what is being circulated is gossip.

“I am an actor by profession. Many are surprised, given the businessman, entrepreneur, and economist my father is. I’m sure he imagined I might follow that path yet, though my career is far from what he envisioned, he supports me fully. Unlike many children of Nigerian politicians, I have never relied on nepotism. I was raised to know that my father’s wealth is not mine, and that I must build my own life. My chosen path is in theatre and filmmaking, far from the world he inhabits an industry that embraces diversity of class, race, sexuality, and identity. I portray characters vastly different from myself, yet some online use these roles against me and my father, presenting fiction as fact.

“I trust any rational person can see how absurd this is. More importantly, Nigeria has far greater issues than idle speculation about what Peter Obi’s son is doing. Our nation still struggles with insecurity, a weakened economy, crumbling infrastructure, failing healthcare, and politicians who steal from the people they swore to serve. And yet, for some, the priority is to spread gossip about who Peter Obi’s son appears with in a photo.”
