Popular US trained
journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, has castigated her father, a former governor of Oyo
State, Victor Omololu Olunloyo, for apologizing to ace actor, Jide Kosoko after
she said he uses his late wives for rituals.
Recall
that the ‘Snitch Lady’ had stated that there was more to the death of wives of
the actor following the death of his third wife, Henrietta, alleging that the
women may have been used for ritual by the actor.
She said the actor should be investigated, saying the coincidence was not ordinary. .
But
in a recent interview, Kosoko clearly stated that he did not use his late wives
for rituals as claimed by Ms. Olunloyo.
He said, “…But I appreciate her father who called me and
apologised. He said some other thingsthat I may not be able to share
with the public. .
In
her reaction, Madame KOO took to her Twitter handle @HNNAfrica to lambaste her
father, calling him a moron.
She
wrote: “My father Victor Omololu Olunloyo being the moron that he is reaching
out to celebrities to “apologize” for what I write on social media got
side-kicked this time.
“The
one thing about my father is that he hasn’t realized that journalism and social
media criticism is MY WORK AND JOB!
“Many
people don’t know but my father is a hater of media since we were young. He is
a big fan of media censorship and even shut down a TV and |Radio station when
he was Oyo state Governor for 90 days. BCOS radio and TV were shut down for 30
days for staff yapping and criticizing President Shagari on the air.
“The governor could not
survive a thick skin. Ha! Ha! Then one day he suddenly became a Nigerian
Tribune Contributing Columnist and he later became a media whore speaking to
all media at any opportunity he got. During his PDP days, he was made the PR
person for the Oyo PDP for the 2011 election which Akala lost.
“He
even blamed that on Akala “not listening to him.” Daddy pls STFU and stay out
of my journalism work. Journalists are supposed to report on everyone.
“Below
is how Jide Kosoko stylishly told him that I had the right to my opinion. In another
publication, Kosoko stated that many people are saying the same thing “behind
him” and only Kemi said her out so he’s not worried.
“Kosoko
said that Olunloyo only spoke her mind and she had a right to air her opinion.
He further said that it was a closed chapter because her father called him to
apologize for his daughter’s utterance.
“I
do not want to go to Kemi Olunloyo’s issue because the chapter is closed. I do
not want to dwell much on it because when people approached me and informed me
of what she was saying, I said she was entitled to her opinion. She was voicing
out, what about those that would not say anything but in their mind, they would
say that I have lost about three wives?
“They
are only being human but the truth is that for Olunloyo, that is her opinion no
matter how hurt I might have been with her utterances. By my nature, there was
nothing I could do. But I appreciate her father who called me and apologised.
He said some other things that I may not be able to share with the public.
“When
she said all those things, I really did not reply because it is not in my
nature and that time, I was mourning so her case was secondary. I am still
mourning so there are very little things I want to say,” she added.
