Comedian and YouTuber Oga Obinna recently opened up about feeling fearful while driving back to Nairobi after an explosive interview with former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua. Obinna shared that the interview, which was filled with candid revelations from Gachagua, left him uneasy during the journey back home. He admitted that the sight of police roadblocks along the way made him anxious, fearing that he could be in danger.
The comedian described the experience as tense, recalling how each roadblock triggered concern. He even joked about needing prayers, admitting that he had brought this situation upon himself by hosting such a controversial interview. Despite his crew’s attempts to laugh off the situation, Obinna confessed that he did not want to drive back home that night, highlighting the intensity of the emotions he felt.
The interview itself was eventful, with Gachagua openly discussing his strained relationship with President William Ruto. He alleged that Ruto once approached him in tears, pleading for his support during the 2022 General Election as he went up against Raila Odinga. Gachagua also disclosed his decision to form a new political party, DCP, and expressed willingness to forgive the president despite their differences.
Obinna’s account of his drive back to Nairobi sparked a flurry of reactions on social media. Fans and followers found humor in his honesty, flooding his TikTok video with hilarious comments. Some joked that they had already started praying for him, while others remarked on the reality of dealing with powerful political figures. A few fans even encouraged Obinna, noting that his boldness in hosting such interviews could attract attention from more politicians eager to share their stories.
Separately, Obinna also made headlines after walking out of a radio interview when questioned about his ongoing conflict with comedian Mulamwah. The radio session, held at Radio 47, grew tense as Obinna was asked to clarify the nature of his beef with Mulamwah. Clearly irritated by the line of questioning, Obinna defended himself, labeling Mulamwah a bully and expressing his unwillingness to discuss the matter further. His frustration led him to signal his bodyguard, Munez, to stand up as they both exited the studio, cutting the interview short.
Obinna’s recent experiences have drawn attention both online and offline, highlighting his growing influence in media and the boldness he brings to his platform. His interview with Gachagua not only opened up political discussions but also showcased the risks and challenges that come with confronting powerful figures. Meanwhile, his bold stance in walking out of the radio interview further solidified his image as someone unafraid to stand his ground, no matter the situation.
