Watch the Moment Yeni Kuti and PDP’s Segun Sowunmi Nearly Sparred Live on TV
There was mild drama on national television on Monday, June 10, as media personality Yeni Kuti and PDP chieftain Segun Sowunmi engaged in a tense exchange during a live broadcast of Your View on TVC.
Sowunmi, a former spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar’s 2023 presidential campaign, was invited as a guest to discuss his recent visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s residence during the Sallah holidays — a move that sparked speculations of a possible defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The interview took a sharp turn when Yeni Kuti, one of the show’s co-hosts, asked Sowunmi if his softened tone towards President Tinubu indicated he was preparing to dump the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for the APC.
“You had a lot of criticism for the President. Now your tune seems to have changed. So when is your own move? When are you leaving PDP for APC?” she asked pointedly.
Sowunmi, seemingly irritated and unaware of who posed the question, responded sharply:
“Although I can’t see who is asking that question… I didn’t come to your programme so you can try to be cheeky with me. Stop that!”
His unexpected reaction appeared to stun the presenters, prompting a swift and firm response from Yeni Kuti.
“I cannot be cheeky with you because I know I am older than you,” she replied.
Realizing the question came from Yeni Kuti, Sowunmi quickly backtracked.
“Oh sister ooo! My Aunty! I take that back. Please do not be angry,” he said, offering a half-joking apology to douse the tension.

The moment quickly went viral, with social media users reacting to the drama that unfolded between the media veteran and the political figure.
Despite the awkward exchange, Sowunmi maintained that his visit to President Tinubu was not about politics or party allegiance, insisting that he remains politically independent and is not beholden to any individual.
