Meet Oyinda Tinubu – Daughter Of Nigeria’s President-Elect Who Is Rumoured To Be Gay In America.
A random Google search with the keyword “Tinubu’s daughter” only triggered results showing his first daughter, the Iyaloja General of Nigeria, in the person of Folashade Tinubu-Ojo. But what you will read in this article will make you understand why the media has underreported the private lives of the other daughters of the President-Elect.
How It Began
Accusations and counter-accusations have been flying around between followers of the Labour Party and the ruling party since Asiwaju Bola Ahmed was announced as the president-elect after emerging as the winner of the February 25th presidential election.
Tinubu clinched a ticket to the presidential seat come May 29 after winning the election with 36.61% of the vote, summing up to 8,794,726 total votes. While Atiku polled a total of 6,984,520 votes in the election.
Peter Obi of the Labour Party came third in the election with a total of 6,101,533 votes, while Rabiu Kwankwaso of the NNPP came fourth with 1,496,687 votes. The results and declaration of results, however, have sparked reactions nationwide as electorates debate the legitimacy of the “mandate.”
The reactions are even more intense in Lagos, where Peter Obi’s followers are brewing up to give their votes to the Labour Party governorship aspirant, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivior. But there’s been a pushback from the ruling party and social media attacks tearing down the LP candidate and his wife got into full swing over the weekend.
A viral message claims Mr. Gbadebr is an Igbo man, purporting that he was born out of wedlock and not raised by his father. Old tweets made by the Lagos fiber aspirant were dug out and misconstrued by APC supporters underlying tribal sentiments.
As if that was not enough, old tweets of Ify Rhodes-Viviour where she was defending gay rights were dug out and it only took a tweep with the right term to search on Google for the spotlight to be titled to Tinubi’s alleged queer daughter, Oyinda Abibat Tinubu, championing the rights of black gay minorities on the United States.
Who is Tinubi’s alleged queer daughter?
Tinubu’s daughter who is in the faraway United States living her best life has become collateral damage of her father’s political vendetta. In a previous article about the life and times of Tinubu’s late son Jide which was made available online, Oyinda was mentioned in that article, she is a graduate of Berklee College of Music.
Oyinda whose chameleonic songcraft explores tensions between tradition and futurism with its mesh of blues, soul, and 22nd-century electronic sounds, is a refreshing enigmatic presence in Brooklyn, New York.

The 30-year-old grew up in High Wycombe, Buckingham shrine, south-east England, in her featured piece with Dazed, Oyinda claims her parents are political refugees who fled Nigeria for asylum in the United States. We corroborate the fact with the political exile of the National Democratic Coalition (NEDECO), a movement formed by Democrats including Tinubu who called on the Sani Abacha Junta to step down on favour of the winner of the June 12, 1993 elections, Moshood Abiola.
Oyinda describes herself as an introvert who only lives in her own bubble. “I was always in my own bubble,” she tells Dazed writer Owen Myers. “I was not trying to hand with too many people. I guess that was my little defense mechanism.”
Is Oyinda Gay?
Photos and screenshots littered across social media suggest that the president-elect’s daughter is an alleged queer. A screenshot of a conversation between Oyinda and her mom Remi where she acknowledged always getting on her parent’s nerves with her way of life.
Old tweets of Oyinda championing gay rights started the rumors:
Please read the chain fully! Black bigotry is also problem. We shouldn’t be dividing ourselves or neglecting those within our community! trans lives matter, and black trans lives are sadly treated as the most invisible. t.co/MAeBGI7UT6
