The campaign team of Senator Sharafadeen Alli, representing Oyo South Senatorial District, has explained the circumstances surrounding a viral video showing a student sitting on the lawmaker’s lap during an interaction with students.
The team said the incident occurred when a group of students arrived for an interview at a time when the available seats were insufficient to accommodate everyone.
According to the explanation, the senator asked one of the students to sit on his lap so that the interview could proceed after the students arrived and there were no enough seats for all of them.
“The students arrived at a time when the available seats were insufficient for everyone, prompting Alli to ask one of the students to sit on his lap so the interview could proceed,” the campaign team said.
The explanation follows the circulation of the video on social media, where the scene generated reactions from members of the public.
The campaign team said the circumstances surrounding the incident were straightforward and that the seating arrangement was prompted by the limited number of available seats at the venue.
The viral footage has nevertheless attracted public attention, with social media users offering different interpretations of the scene.
The clarification from the senator’s team is aimed at providing context to the video and explaining how the unusual seating arrangement occurred during the engagement with the students.
The team maintained that the students had come for an interview and that the interaction took place in the course of the engagement.
The incident has since become a subject of online discussion, highlighting how short video clips can generate widespread reactions when circulated without the full context surrounding the event.
