Former Governor of Edo State, Senator Adams Oshiomhole, has come under fire for saying that Edo first couple, Governor Godwin Obaseki, and wife, Betsy, have no child.
The wicked insult hurled at the Edo first couple was in response to Mrs Obaseki’s statement during a campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party at Esan South-East Local Government Area (LGA) ahead of the September 21 governorship election in the state.
The first lady while introducing the PDP candidate, Dr. Asue Ighodalo’s wife, prided the candidate on allegedly having the interest of women in contrast to the candidate of All Progressives Congress, Senator Monday Okpebholo whom he accused of being unmarried.
“I was shocked to hear Mrs. Obaseki say our candidate has no wife. She and her husband are childless and have not adopted. I don’t blame anyone who does not have children, but those who care about children should adopt from motherless homes,” Oshiomhole jumped on the state first couple.
The response has evoked criticism from netizens who are trolling the ex-governor.
