Eniola Ajao Faces Backlash as She Breaks Silence on Alleged Affair with Odunlade Adekola

August 27, 2025

Nigerian actress Eniola Ajao has finally addressed the long-standing rumors about her alleged romantic relationship with senior colleague, Odunlade Adekola.

She has faced criticism recently after a video surfaced showing her avoiding the camera during the burial of Odunlade’s father last week.

For years, Ajao has been speculated to be romantically involved with the popular actor.

However, speaking on Wednesday in a series of posts on her Instagram story, the actress stated that the allegations are aimed at tarnishing her personality.

While explaining that she “can’t fix every lie and rumour”, Eniola Ajao noted that “life hits differently when you stop to prove you didn’t do that, or you are not like that”.

“You can’t fix every lie and rumour, nor can you defend yourself every time. Just be great. People may destroy your image, stain your personality, but they can’t take away your good deeds because no matter how they describe you, you will still be admired by those who know you better,” she added.
