I can’t speak on political issues — Otedola’s daughter, Dj Cuppy
Jockey and producer, Florence Otedola, popularly known as Dj Cuppy, has stated her reason for not being able to speak on the current political issues.
Cuppy, daughter of billionaire Femi Otedola in a tweet on Tuesday, said after remembering who she was, she held back on her opinion.
She wrote, “This morning, I was about to tweet my opinion on the current political scene, but then I remembered who I am.”
Her father, Nigerian billionaire, Femi Otedola, had only last week, expressed his support for the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress, Ahmed Bola Tinubu.
The businessman shared a picture of himself standing beside the former Governor of Lagos State via Twitter, and prayed that God granted Tinubu his desire to win the forthcoming 2023 presidential election.
“I am always excited visiting my Great Friend, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu @officialABAT,” he wrote on Tuesday.
“May God grant him his heart’s desire in becoming the President of this great Nation …F.Ote,”.
This show of support drew mixed reactions, as many flooded his comment section with their varying opinions.
Social media influencer, @FS_Yusuf_ questioned the businessman if he would employ the presidential candidate for key positions in his enterprise.
“Influence aside, would you make him your General Manager, Operations in your company, with his current health situation?” he wrote.
Drawing a parallel between Otedola’s celebrity daughter schooling in the United Kingdom and Nigerian university students whose Academic year has been on hold due to the ongoing strike by lecturers, @Nattie_Best said, “DJ Cuppy is using school-equipped WiFi to type up her thesis in Oxford University. Yet here you are, supporting the APC to remain in power despite almost five months of ASUU strike. Nigerians, open your eyes and vote wisely o!”
Raymond Owonibi, @c019fba198ea4fb also tweeted, “With all due respect sir what is Asiwaju bringing to the table as most populous black nation President? Healthwise, in your opinion, is he fit? Sir, you guys should do the right thing even for once nah. We, the youths of Nigeria, reject another failure.”
“Why are you people angry? Man will protect his personal interests and business obviously. Na all of them dey cash out from Lagos. But what I know is that Otedola can’t employ someone like Tinubu to run his company because he knows he isn’t fit enough to do that,” @Irunnia_ wrote.
