Popular Nigerian DJ and activist Obianuju Catherine Udeh, better known as DJ Switch, has lashed out at APC chieftain Joe Igbokwe after he criticised her reaction to the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Buhari died in London on Sunday, July 13, 2025, after a prolonged illness. Reacting to the news on Instagram, DJ Switch wrote:
“Wow! The sweet reality of inevitability. RIP MF. One down.”
Her post sparked outrage from Igbokwe, who took to Facebook to lambast her:
“So the ugly and nauseating lady is still talking. She has not realized the damage she did to Nigeria with her utterance. This lady needs help. She must have gone kolos.”
Firing back in a fiery response, DJ Switch labeled the APC stalwart a “coward” who stood by while innocent citizens were harmed under Buhari’s regime.
“You watched a government murder its youth and your only outrage is that I lived to tell the story? You think my utterance damaged Nigeria? No, grandpa! Your silence did. Your cowardice did,” she said.
She added:
“The only thing more embarrassing than your spelling is thinking silence in the face of murder, hardship and injustice is dignity… You are defending killers but attacking survivors. Don’t worry, history is writing your name in the footnotes under failure.”
DJ Switch rose to national and international prominence in 2020 after live-streaming the #EndSARS Lekki Toll Gate shooting, during which she claimed Nigerian security forces opened fire on peaceful protesters. Her advocacy drew both praise and threats, forcing her into temporary exile.
