The Director-General of the National Council for Arts and Culture, Otunba Olusegun Runsewe has mocked popular male cross-dresser, Bobrisky over the shut down of his party by men of the Nigerian police force.
Runsewe, who spoke on Platform, a
programme of the Nigerian Television Authority, said the country was on the
cusp of becoming a great nation while he described Bobrisky as a national
disaster.
Two weeks ago, the NCAC DG had
condemned Bobrisky, saying if nothing was done to stop the celebrity
immediately, it might be too late when something was eventually done.
But Bobrisky took to his
Instagram account five days later to dare Runsewe.
The cross-dresser said, “I heard
someone in government talked about me a few days ago. Please, tell him I’m
waiting for him. It’s then he will know that I roll with his bosses in
government, not someone at his level. So, he left serious issues in Nigeria to
address Bobrisky; but I popular sha.”
The police, however, stormed the
venue of Bobrisky’s 28th birthday party at The Pearl Gardens, Lekki, Lagos,
last Saturday with several arrests reportedly made.
The celebrity lamented on his
Instagram page that several millions spent on the party had gone down the
drain, including what appeared to be a lavish seven-tier cake.
Runsewe, on Friday, however,
boasted that all the expenses made for Bobrisky’s birthday had come to nought.
The interviewer had asked Runsewe
to comment on the conceivably funny statement made by “a particular character”
on social media after the NCAC boss had reprimanded him “for behaving in a
certain manner.”
He said, “I am sure you are
referring to Bobrisky. That is a national disaster. He is an embarrassment to
this country. He said he deals with my bosses but that is for yesterday. Today,
if he deals with my bosses when his party was to take place on Saturday, why
didn’t he call my bosses to tell me to open the door?
“We dropped the whole thing and
all the food was a waste because he thought he was dealing with the Nigerians
of yesterday. A change has come and there must be a new vision for this great
country.
“We are going to issue a
statement very soon; if we catch anybody on the street disgracing this country
— there is law and order in this country. He was only dropping names. He knows
nobody. That statement he made is enough to destroy the credibility of our
country.”
I'm glad you dealt with him, he's been quiet since then
