Obanla Lizzy Defends Bond with Iyabo Ojo Amid Criticism

Obanla Elizabeth, known as Obanla Lizzy and a businesswoman, publicly defended her relationship with actress Iyabo Ojo on Instagram on September 1, 2026. This response came after she faced criticism regarding her closeness to Iyabo Ojo, particularly following an invitation to a birthday party that raised eyebrows due to Obanla's past as Lizzy Anjorin's former godmother.

To substantiate her claims, Obanla shared throwback photographs from 2013 and 2014, asserting that their bond predates the recent controversies. She addressed her critics, whom she referred to as "emergency friends," suggesting they were only seeking relevance in Iyabo Ojo's life.
