Nigerian disc jockey and activist, Obianuju Catherine Udeh, popularly known as DJ Switch, has issued a scathing response to All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain Joe Igbokwe, after he criticized her reaction to the passing 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 posted: “Wow! The sweet reality of inevitability. RIP MF. One down.”
Her comment stirred reactions across social media, including a harsh rebuke from Igbokwe, who took to Facebook to express his disapproval.
He wrote: “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.”
DJ Switch, who became widely known during the #EndSARS protests for live-streaming the Lekki Toll Gate shooting in 2020, wasted no time in responding. In a fiery rebuttal, she accused Igbokwe of cowardice and hypocrisy for defending a government she believes was complicit in the suffering and deaths of Nigerian youths.
She wrote: “The only thing more embarrassing than your spelling is thinking silence in the face of murder, hardship and injustice is dignity. We faced bullets for justice. What did you ever face besides spell check and senility?
“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!
“You are defending killers but attacking survivors, don’t worry history is writing your name in the footnotes under failure. Imagine being so useless to justice that the voice of a woman surviving Nigeria threatens your whole existence.”
The exchange has reignited debate on political accountability, free speech, and the enduring legacy of the #EndSARS movement in Nigeria.
