A humorous Instagram reel posted has drawn attention by branding Ozonna Soludo, the son of Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo, as “the only weapon fashioned against Tinubu and the APC.”
The short video, shared under the caption “Ozonna is the only weapon fashioned against Tinubu and the APC 😂😭😭 The man is relentless!”, plays on the contrast between the governor’s public support for President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid and the younger Soludo’s independent, often critical online presence. The post quickly gained traction, recording over 1,400 likes and more than 120 comments within a short period.
Commenters reacted with a mix of amusement and political jabs. Some noted the irony of Ozonna’s stance given that his father and the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) have aligned with the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Tinubu. Others referenced ongoing online debates and joked about family dynamics, with remarks such as “Only Soludo know wetin he do with this boy” and references to the younger Soludo no longer receiving “monthly allowance.”
Ozonna Soludo, a UK-based musician, content creator and social media personality popularly known as “Baby Oku,” has built a public profile distinct from his father’s political career through music, dance videos and fashion. He has previously stated that he holds his own opinions and should not be treated as an extension of his father’s politics.
The reel arrives against a backdrop of heightened political activity in Anambra and the South-East ahead of the 2027 elections. Governor Soludo and APGA have publicly endorsed Tinubu, with the governor inaugurating joint campaign structures and describing the partnership as beneficial for regional relevance and development. At the same time, viral clips circulating online in late October and early November appeared to show Ozonna dancing to a campaign song associated with Peter Obi and the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). Mrs Nonye Soludo, the governor’s wife, issued a statement denying that her son originated or authorised the video, describing it as doctored and linking its circulation to another individual.
The BSN post adds to the online conversation about generational and personal differences within political families. Supporters of the younger Soludo see his visibility as authentic self-expression, while critics view the attention as a distraction or a source of political embarrassment for the governor.
As the 2027 presidential race intensifies, moments like the viral reel continue to illustrate how social media amplifies personal and family dynamics in Nigeria’s political landscape. Neither Ozonna Soludo nor the Anambra State Government has issued an official response specifically addressing the BSN post.
