Tech entrepreneur Olamide Adee has sparked national conversation after publicly stating she would not consider job applications from supporters of Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) party. Citing concerns over poor judgment in the face of economic challenges such as 34% inflation and ongoing naira depreciation, Adee’s position quickly became a trending topic online.
After APC supporters unearthed her company’s details and attempted to have her removed from her position, Adee responded by affirming her role as co-founder and chief executive. The incident has drawn praise from critics of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, while others have warned that such hiring policies could amount to political discrimination.
The heated exchange underscores Nigeria’s growing political divides as the 2027 elections approach, with many observers highlighting the intersection of business leadership and political allegiances in the country’s polarized environment.
