“Whether They Like It Or Not”-Oga Obinna Defiant Over State House Visit For ‘Vurugu’ Boxers

Content creator and media personality Oga Obinna has doubled down on his plans to visit State House, dismissively brushing off the wave of online criticism. On Wednesday, April 8, 2026, the Vurugu Night Fight promoter insisted that the visit—intended to showcase boxers Majembe and Mbavu Destroyer—is non-negotiable and will proceed regardless of public opinion.

A Defiant Stance

Obinna’s response to the backlash was blunt and uncompromising. Taking to social media, he made it clear that he would not be bullied into canceling the appointment by “outside pressure.”

“Period!! We are going to State House whether they like it or not (Statehouse nayo tunaenda wapende, wasipende),” Obinna declared. He emphasized that the primary goal is to ensure the athletes receive the recognition they deserve: “Let the boxers get theirs and life continues.”

Future Political Ambitions

Addressing the accusations of political “selling out,” Obinna hinted that while the current visit is about sports, he won’t shy away from politics when the time is right. He promised his followers that he would be transparent about his allegiances once the official campaign season begins.

“When the time for campaigns arrives, I will come out openly and decide which side I will follow. Relax, I will organize you (mtulie ntawapanga),” he added, suggesting that he is prepared for the scrutiny that comes with public life.

Mwakideu Weighs In

Obinna’s defiance comes as veteran radio host Alex Mwakideu questioned the intense hostility directed at the entertainer. Mwakideu noted that while the debate has gone viral on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), the reaction seems disproportionate to the act of seeking presidential recognition for a sporting event.

Mwakideu recalled that Obinna had even warned fans in an earlier video not to politicize the move, yet the narrative quickly spiraled. “Obinna himself made a video telling Kenyans he’s taking the boxers to State House… he knew he would trend,” Mwakideu observed during his show.

The controversy highlights the growing tension in Kenya regarding the intersection of entertainment and politics. Despite the heated online debate, Obinna remains focused on the mission at hand: taking the “Vurugu” champions to the highest office in the land.
