The Ovation Media Group chairman, Dele Momodu has berated Senator Adams Oshiomole over his unflattering comments against Edo state governor, Godwin Obaseki and his wife, Betsy.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that Oshiomole while speaking with Journalists, mocked Obaseki and his wife for being childless over a remark made by Mrs Obaseki in which she alleged the People Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Asue Ighodalo, is the only gubernatorial candidate who has a wife.
Recall that Mrs Obaseki, during her speech at the PDP’s campaign flag-off at Ubiaja Township Stadium, introduced Ifeyinwa Ighodalo to the crowd, emphasising the importance of having a woman in the Government House.
“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,” Mrs Obaseki said
Reacting to the comment on Saturday, Oshiomhole stressed that Mrs Obaseki cannot remark on other people’s marital status given that she and her husband are childless.
Reacting, the Media entrepreneur, via his Instagram page on Monday, expressed “shock, saying he was mortified” by Oshiomole’s comment.
He further prayed that the former governor finds the courage to apologise publicly to the Obaseki as being childless is not a crime.
“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
