Human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has torn into former Edo State governor and serving senator, Adams Oshiomhole, after a viral video showed the ex-labour leader cruising in a private jet with an unidentified young woman.
The clip, which exploded on social media on Monday, captures Oshiomhole in a relaxed mood aboard the luxury aircraft, rubbing the woman’s leg.
Adeyanju’s outburst followed the trending video highlighting the lavish lifestyle of the senator representing Edo North Senatorial District, a sharp contrast to his well-known background as a former textile worker and union activist.
Taking to X, Adeyanju openly questioned the source of Oshiomhole’s wealth, portraying the senator as another beneficiary of what he described as the excesses of political power and unchecked privilege.
“Comrade wey dey ball! Politics money is sweet. A former textile worker living like Pablo Escobar. No evidence he inherited money from rich parents or that he is a successful businessman or actively doing anything progressively as at today aside politics. Behaving like Wike whose only source of wealth is before harmattan there was cold,” Adeyanju wrote.
The video has continued to generate heated debate online, with many Nigerians calling out what they see as the growing disconnect between public office holders and the harsh economic realities faced by ordinary citizens.
