NCAC DG, Runsewe, Commended For Speaking Against Bobrisky

Otunba Segun Runsewe, Director-General of the National Council for Arts and Culture, has been praised for fighting against immoral acts in the society.

In an open letter on Friday, a social commentator, John Akosa, commended Runsewe for condemning the activities of Nigerian cross dresser, Idris Okuneye popularly known as Bobrisky and for protecting the culture of Nigeria by frowning against acts that bring shame to the country and her people .

On August 25th, Tinashotspot reported that Runsewe described Bobrisky as a “national disgrace who will be dealt with ruthlessly if caught on the street.”

He also warned Bobrisky to desist from engaging in acts that bring shame to Nigeria’s rich culture. Read here.

After that warning, Bobrisky fired back by boasting that nobody could touch him because he had connections in ‘high places’.

But in a move that signalled NCAC’s intent to protect Nigeria’s culture, the police in Lagos on August 31 sealed two venues scheduled to host the 28th birthday celebration of Bobrisky while the cross-dresser went into hiding thereafter.

Applauding Runsewe for protecting the future of Nigerian youth, Akosa said, “I hail your dedication and wisdom to draw the attention of Nigerians to the open deviant attitude of Idris Okuneye known as Bobrisky.

“Even though I do not speak for Nigerians, majority are happy and glad that you took the frontal battle to this community of confusionists and upholders of negative and insidious appearances.

“Continue to serve Nigeria to the best of your ability, encourage our return to the best usage of our culture and also focus on the youth who are future defenders of our culture.

“Do well to develop cultural programmes that can help restore our pride in our heritage and history.
