Peter Obi’s Son, Oseloka, Breaks Silence About His Sexuality

Oseloka Obi, son of maverick politician and former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, has responded to viral rumours about his sexuality.

The speculations followed photos of him with British-Nigerian actor Kent Okwesa, which surfaced online earlier this month.

In a detailed statement, Oseloka dismissed the claims as “fiction spun from pictures.” He said the images were ordinary snapshots with friends and colleagues, not hidden secrets.

“This pattern has become all too familiar,” he wrote. “Individuals opposed to my father seize ordinary photos of me and repackage them with false stories.”

“They are not revelations. They are not exposés. They are simply misrepresentations.”

A Life Far From Politics

Oseloka explained that his career in theatre and filmmaking exposes him to diverse roles and friendships. He said this has repeatedly been twisted into false narratives by those trying to undermine his father’s political ambition.

“I am an actor by profession,” he said. “Unlike many children of Nigerian politicians, I have never relied on nepotism.”

He added that his father’s wealth is not his own, and that he was raised to build his life independently.

“My chosen path is in theatre and filmmaking—far from the world he inhabits,” he wrote. “An industry that embraces diversity of class, race, sexuality, and identity.”

“My father’s money is his own, and I do not intend to inherit it – so I decided to work for my own money by producing films. I am a writer and a film producer. My father’s wealth is not mine, and I must build my own life,” he said.

Focus on Nigeria’s Real Problems

Oseloka urged Nigerians to ignore gossip and focus on the country’s pressing issues. He listed insecurity, economic hardship, poor healthcare, and corruption as the real problems needing attention.

“Nigeria has far greater issues than idle speculation about what Peter Obi’s son is doing,” he said.

He also reaffirmed his support for his father’s leadership, saying: “My father has my vote, not because he is my father, but because he is the right man for the job.”

“In our home, the lesson was always clear: face your work, do it honestly, and contribute to the good of others.”
