Prior this the duo have allegedly been having wild sex in coded places from Lagos to Ogun states. He is rumored to be the pillar behind Bukky Wright’s stubbornness to join the bandwagon of entertainers aspiring for political office.
However, during the party’s primary elections the actress lost to Joseph Sopade, a former aide of Governor Ibikunle Amosun, who resigned to join the Social Democratic Party. Ms. Wright and Mr. Sopade vied for the SDP ticket for the Abeokuta South Federal Constituency of Ogun State, which Sopade later lost to Hon. Samuel Olusegun Williams of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Inside sources further revealed that their relationship lasted till Bukky Wright dumped Okunniyi and went straight for the party leader, the Akinrogun of Egbaland, Chief Olusegun Osoba.
According to a report by SocietyGists, when the news of the romance started becoming a major topic in the political and social scene, Okunniyi’s wife confronted her husband for explanation but the Ijebu born politician had no tangible excuse to cover up for his extra-marital affair. In the same vein, the screen goddess who has been on the defensive of her affair with Osoba has been throwing tantrums to the failed politician, describing him as a ‘Facebook Politician’ who only hold rally and other political activities on social media.
Okunniyi was the Governorship Candidate of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) in Ogun State in the 2011 elections, he later rejoined the All Progressive Congress from the Social Democratic Party few days to the election when the party bigwigs unanimously handed the gubernatorial ticket to former Managing Director of Promoserve, Senator Akin Odunsi.
Meanwhile, Ogun APC members have kick against his defection into the party stating that he’s not a stable politician who is only after political appointment to make ends meet. When SocietyGists contacted Mr Okunniyi over the allegations, he reportedly promised to call back. He later sent an SMS saying, “Sorry, we don’t respond to a story we are not aware of the details or sponsored or a journalist on phone. Thanks.” It would be recalled that the Congress for Progressive Change in Ogun State once disowned him in the 2011 gubernatorial election, over the emergence of campaign posters in parts of the state, proclaiming him the party’s flagbearer in the 2015 poll.
This is coming on the heels of a statement credited to Okunniyi, in which he was said to have vowed that the CPC bloc within the All Progressives Congress would produce a candidate that would vie for the guberbatorial ticket of the newly formed party in the state with Governor Ibikunle Amosun for the 2015 poll.
