The award came a day after Deyemi Okanlawon was criticized online for attacking HOR-elect Thaddeus Attah. Vistanaij Media had reported that Deyemi wrote an open letter to Attah following Banky W’s defeat. In the letter, Deyemi stated that he voted for Banky W because he believed he would have been the best candidate for the job. He expressed concerns about the high rate of tribal sentiments, cyberbullying, and herd mentality on all sides played in the electoral process.

While congratulating Attah on his victory, Deyemi questioned his plans for Eti-Osa, as he had done thorough research about him and is yet to find anything about his plans for the area. Deyemi sent an open invitation to Attah to join him online for a live Instagram conversation to address concerns and respond to questions.
