The former governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, has said Governor Godwin Obaseki and his wife Betsy Obaseki do not have love for children.
The Edo North Senator, Oshimhole said this on Saturday, in a press interview with some selected journalists. The interview was uploaded by Television Continental (TVC), on its X handle on Sunday.
Oshimhole stated this in reply to an alleged statement from Betsy Obaseki, in which she claimed that only the APC governorship candidate, Monday Okpebholo does not have a wife, amongst the contenders in the state.
Reacting, the former All Progressives Congress (APC) national chairman said Godwin and Betsy have been childless since they got married and have also refused to adopt any child because they do not love children.
“I was shocked yesterday to see Mrs. Obaseki, the first lady, saying that our candidate has no wife. She is the most, I’m sorry that she has to say that, because here is a woman who has no child. Between him and Obaseki, they have no child, they are childless.
“They are even not ready to adopt. I mean, I don’t blame, anybody should not have a child. But people who have love for children, they go to motherless home and adopt children.
“They have not adopted, they are both in their 60s. So you married, I don’t know whether it’s a contract or whatever it is, but they have no child,” Oshimhole said.
He explained that the wife and children of the APC governorship candidate, Okpebholo, joined in the campaigns across the state.
“Now our candidate not only have children, he has invested in the education of those children, such that you watch them on live television, covered by your media stations, where the first one that spoke is a lawyer, the second one is a medical doctor, and they had dressed the crowd in a Edo South, in a Edo Central, in Edo North, and their mother was there,” he added.
