He said she subsequently sent a fresh batch of the orange juice to a laboratory for testing after suspecting that something could be wrong with the oranges used to prepare the drink.
Osinbajo claimed that the laboratory results showed that the oranges were not fit for human consumption, alleging that dangerous chemicals had been used by farmers to ripen and preserve the fruits.
“My wife started having frequent headaches a few months after she quit Coca-Cola for fresh orange juice. She sent a fresh batch of the orange juice to the lab for testing and the results revealed that the oranges were not fit for human consumption because of the dangerous chemicals the farmers had used to ripen and preserve them,” Osinbajo said.
The claim has generated reactions as the video continues to trend on social media, particularly amid concerns over food safety, agricultural practices and the use of chemicals in the production and preservation of fruits.
The development has also renewed discussions about the need for stronger monitoring of agricultural inputs and improved public awareness of food safety practices in Nigeria.
