Popular Nigerian disc jockey and activist, Obianuju Catherine Udeh, widely known as DJ Switch, has clapped back at All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain Joe Igbokwe after he publicly condemned her reaction to the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

Buhari died in London on Sunday, July 13, 2025, following a prolonged illness. In response to the news, DJ Switch took to her Instagram page with a post that read:

“Wow! The sweet reality of inevitability. RIP MF. One down.”

The post quickly went viral and drew criticism from Joe Igbokwe, who posted a scathing message on Facebook targeting her past activism and outspoken stance during the #EndSARS protests.

“So the ugly and nauseating lady is still talking. She has not realized the damage she did to Nigeria with her utterance. This lady needs help. She must have gone kolos,” Igbokwe wrote.

In a powerful rebuttal, DJ Switch fired back at the APC figure, accusing him of cowardice and willful ignorance.

“The only thing more embarrassing than your spelling is thinking silence in the face of murder, hardship and injustice is dignity,” she responded.
“We faced bullets for justice. What did you ever face besides spell check and senility?”

She further condemned Igbokwe for defending a government that she believes oppressed Nigerian youth while attacking survivors like herself who chose to speak out.

“You watched a government murder its youth and your only outrage is that I lived to tell the story? You think my utterance damaged Nigeria? No grandpa! Your silence did. Your cowardice did!”

In closing, DJ Switch emphasized that history would not be kind to those who stood on the side of oppression:

“You are defending killers but attacking survivors. Don’t worry—history is writing your name in the footnotes under failure. Imagine being so useless to justice that the voice of a woman surviving Nigeria threatens your whole existence.”

DJ Switch became widely known for her courageous livestream during the Lekki Toll Gate shooting in 2020 and has remained an outspoken voice for justice and human rights in Nigeria.
