Osun Governor Spotted Performing at Iyabo Ojo’s Daughter’s Star-Studded Wedding

The internet is buzzing with reactions following the extravagant traditional wedding of actress Iyabo Ojo’s daughter, #JP2025 , to Tanzanian singer Juma Jux—an event that has sparked both admiration and criticism. The star-studded ceremony, held at Five Palms in Oniru, Lagos, saw high-profile guests in attendance, including the Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, who stunned many by taking the stage to sing for the couple.

While fans praised the colorful ceremony and the couple’s striking royal purple ensembles, others questioned the priorities of public officials, with many asking why a sitting governor was actively participating in a celebrity wedding amid pressing issues in his state.

The event was just one phase of a lavish multi-country celebration, which began with a traditional wedding in Tanzania earlier this year. That event was followed by a civil ceremony and an extravagant second proposal involving a massive diamond ring. The Lagos celebration is to be succeeded by a white wedding in Nigeria and a final grand party in Tanzania slated for May.

With hashtags like #JP2025 flooding social media, critics are voicing concerns about celebrity excess and what they describe as “tone-deaf opulence” in a country battling economic challenges. Others have accused the couple of turning their marriage into a media spectacle, more focused on glamour than tradition.

Meanwhile, supporters argue that the couple should be free to celebrate their union however they choose, calling the backlash unwarranted jealousy. Still, the debate rages on, as what was meant to be a romantic celebration has now become one of the year’s most controversial celebrity events.
