An "horrendous tantrum"- Dele Momodu slams Oshiomole on his comment on Obaseki

 

Media personality Dele Momodu has expressed his dismay over comments made by Senator Adams Oshiomhole regarding the childless status of Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki and his wife, Betsy. Oshiomhole’s remarks came in response to Mrs. Obaseki's speech during a campaign event for the People's Democratic Party (PDP), where she highlighted the importance of having a candidate with a spouse, specifically introducing PDP candidate Asue Ighodalo.

“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,” said the first Lady 

The Media/business personality stated his displeasure in his instagram account as he wrote

‘’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?!!''

However, Oshiomhole said that Mrs Obaseki was not in a position to remark on other’s marital status given that she and her husband were childless.
