Popular Nigerian crossdresser, Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju, widely known as Bobrisky, has publicly condemned Nigerian senators for their apparent lack of urgency in addressing the recent killings in Benue State.
On Monday, Bobrisky took to Instagram to express his frustration, highlighting what he perceives as misplaced priorities among Nigerian lawmakers.
"Senator/house representative didn't call urgent meeting over the killing happening in Benue. But they can call urgent meeting when it comes to Bobrisky. Shame, shame!!!! Shame!!!. What a shameful country," he wrote in his Instagram story.
Background on Bobrisky's Legal Issues
In 2024, the controversial media personality was prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for allegedly abusing Naira notes. Despite being found guilty, subsequent reports suggested that Bobrisky did not serve time in a Nigerian prison, raising questions about preferential treatment.
Bobrisky's criticism comes amid growing concerns over the security situation in Benue State, where numerous lives have been lost in recent attacks. The crossdresser's comments highlight the broader public frustration with what many perceive as the government's inadequate response to security challenges facing ordinary Nigerians.
The social media star's outburst has sparked conversations online about national priorities and the responsiveness of elected officials to critical issues affecting citizens.
This incident adds to the growing list of Nigerian celebrities using their platforms to speak out on political and social issues affecting the country.
