In what can only be described as a masterclass in how not to end a political career, outgoing Agboyi-Ketu LCDA Chairman, Dele Oshinowo, has found himself at the center of a viral storm — and quite literally, on the receiving end of a royal rebuttal.
The palace of the Olu of Agboyi Kingdom — usually a sanctuary of culture and tradition — became the unexpected stage for a scene more suited to a Nollywood political thriller than a leadership legacy. According to verified CCTV footage now circulating on social media, Dele Oshinowo, in what appeared to be a show of misguided bravado, was seen pushing and then slapping Prince Kehinde Oladega, the monarch’s son — inside his own father’s house.
Yes. You read that right.
Like a badly scripted attempt at intimidation, the chairman — whose tenure ends in just a few days — made the fatal error of assuming that political power could override royal decorum. Unfortunately for him, the prince retaliated swiftly, with what witnesses have hilariously dubbed a “divine disciplinary slap” that left the LCDA boss visibly stunned.
Narratives and Denials: The Chairman’s PR Blunder
True to style, Dele Oshinowo’s camp wasted no time spinning a counter-narrative — one in which he was the innocent victim, and Prince Kehinde the aggressor. But facts, as they say, are stubborn things. And in this case, video footage has laid bare the sequence of events. The chairman was the first to strike, both verbally and physically.
Now the same man known in some circles for his abrasive approach to leadership, unfiltered power-play, and occasional “my way or the expressway” governance, is facing serious heat — not just from the palace but from the very constituents he once towered over.
“So he went to slap someone inside his father’s palace? And expected what—tea and forgiveness?” one resident quipped in a trending WhatsApp group chat.
A Pattern Unfolds
While some were shocked, many others in Agboyi-Ketu say this was only a matter of time. Over the years, Oshinowo has earned a reputation for mistaking public service for personal supremacy. From alleged highhandedness with youth groups to countless reports of unchecked aggression in public meetings, this latest incident merely pulled back the curtain.
“He’s always been a bully,” says community elder Chief Adebajo. “But this time, he tried it in the wrong house.”
A Lesson in Power and Dignity
What this incident shows — beyond the immediate scandal — is a larger lesson in the limits of power. You may chair a local government, but you do not barge into a royal home and try to rule it with fists. In Agboyi, respect still holds weight. And in that brief moment, Prince Kehinde wasn’t just defending himself — he was defending tradition, dignity, and the unspoken truth that no title protects poor character.
As the countdown to the end of Oshinowo’s term ticks away, one can only hope that his final days in office are quieter — and a little more reflective.
After all, power fades — but the internet never forgets.
