A former governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole says his successor, Godwin Obaseki and his wife, Betsy Obaseki are childless.

He claimed to be reacting to a statement by Betsy, in which she allegedly claimed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in the state, Monday Okpebholo does not have a wife.

In the video, Oshiomhole said the governor and his wife refused to adopt any child because they do not love 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.”
