Adams Oshiomhole, the former governor of Edo State, alleges that his successor, Godwin Obaseki, and his wife, Betsy Obaseki, are childless.
The Edo North Senator made the revelation in a video uploaded to Television Continental’s (TVC) X account on Sunday.
He claimed to be replying to Betsy’s remarks, in which she said that Monday Okpebholo, the All-Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate in the state, does not have a wife.
In the video, Oshiomhole said that the governor and his wife refused to adopt a child because they do not like 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,” he said.
“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.”
