A viral video involving Oyo State APC governorship candidate, Senator Sharafadeen Alli, has sparked reactions online after a male journalist was seen appearing to sit on the politician’s lap during an interview.
The short clip, which has circulated widely on social media, shows Alli seated during what appears to be an interview while the journalist sits close to him, with part of the interaction attracting significant attention from viewers.
The footage has generated different interpretations online, with some social media users questioning the unusual positioning of the journalist, while others have urged people to watch the full interview before reaching conclusions based on the short clip.
As of the time of publication, Alli and his campaign team had not publicly commented on the video or explained the circumstances surrounding the interaction.
Alli is the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the 2027 Oyo State governorship election and currently represents Oyo South Senatorial District in the National Assembly.
The video was shared by Sahara Reporters and subsequently gained traction across social media platforms, where users began debating what occurred during the interview.
Some users called the footage unusual, while others maintained that the short clip did not provide enough context to determine exactly what happened.
The development comes as political activities intensify ahead of the 2027 elections, with candidates and political parties increasingly attracting attention online.
For now, the circumstances surrounding the viral interaction remain unclear, as there has been no public explanation from Senator Sharafadeen Alli or his campaign team.
