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 \u2014 and quite literally, on the receiving end of a royal rebuttal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The palace of the Olu of Agboyi Kingdom \u2014 usually a sanctuary of culture and tradition \u2014 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\u2019s son \u2014 inside his own father\u2019s house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes. You read that right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like a badly scripted attempt at intimidation, the chairman \u2014 whose tenure ends in just a few days \u2014 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 \u201cdivine disciplinary slap\u201d that left the LCDA boss visibly stunned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Narratives and Denials: The Chairman\u2019s PR Blunder
True to style, Dele Oshinowo\u2019s camp wasted no time spinning a counter-narrative \u2014 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now the same man known in some circles for his abrasive approach to leadership, unfiltered power-play, and occasional \u201cmy way or the expressway\u201d governance, is facing serious heat \u2014 not just from the palace but from the very constituents he once towered over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo he went to slap someone inside his father\u2019s palace? And expected what\u2014tea and forgiveness?\u201d one resident quipped in a trending WhatsApp group chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe\u2019s always been a bully,\u201d says community elder Chief Adebajo. \u201cBut this time, he tried it in the wrong house.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Lesson in Power and Dignity
What this incident shows \u2014 beyond the immediate scandal \u2014 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\u2019t just defending himself \u2014 he was defending tradition, dignity, and the unspoken truth that no title protects poor character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the countdown to the end of Oshinowo\u2019s term ticks away, one can only hope that his final days in office are quieter \u2014 and a little more reflective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After all, power fades \u2014 but the internet never forgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
