Recall that Oshiomhole had referred to the couple as childless while replying to a comment by the first lady.
Obaseki’s wife, had during her speech at the PDP’s campaign flag-off at the Ubiaja Township Stadium in Esan South-East Local Government Area, alluded to the fact that the All Progressives Congress gubernatorial candidate, Monday Okpebholo does not have a wife.
“Let us vote for the best candidate in this coming election, and I want to introduce the wife. Incidentally, among all the candidates, only one has a wife, and it’s our own party’s candidate, Asue Ighodalo. Only he has a wife. This is the wife, Mrs. Ifeyinwa Ighodalo. Edo women know that only one candidate has a wife. Better things come to women when there’s a woman in the Government House. All women in Edo, regardless of party, should see the candidate who has a wife. They will take us higher only the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate, Asue Ighodalo,” she said.
In response, Oshiomhole stated that Mrs Obaseki is not in a position to remark on other people’s marital status given that she and her husband do not have any kids.
Sharing his thoughts on the development via Instagram, Momodu said he was ‘’shocked and mortified” by Oshiomhole’s comment and prayed that he finds the courage to apologise publicly to Obaseki.
‘’My very dear Egbon Comrade ADAMS, Sir, I have watched this video endlessly and to say I’m shocked and mortified at how low you sank is to put it mildly. I pray you will find the courage to apologise publicly for this horrendous tantrum. It is never a crime to be childless. You could easily have said your candidate has a wife and children and leave it there but you went too far in this diatribe. Is it more than POLITICS?!!” he wrote.
