Claims that Adams Oshiomole called the First Lady of Edo state, Besty Obaseki a childless woman went viral at the beginning of the month.
For context, Betsy during a campaign introduced Ifeyinwa Ighodalo, wife of Asue Ighodalo, PDP governorship candidate to the crowd.
Betsy claimed that Ighodalo was the only governorship candidate in the September 21 election with a wife further urging women to vote for a candidate who has a wife, adding that it would translate to women empowerment.
Reacting in an interview with journalists, Oshiomhole said he was shocked to hear Betsy say Monday Okpebholo, the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has no wife claiming that Betsy and her husband have no child neither did they adopt one.
“I was shocked yesterday to see Mrs Obaseki, the first lady, saying our candidate has no wife. I’m sorry she had to say that because here is a woman who has no child. Between him (sic) and Obaseki, they are childless. They are not even ready to adopt,” Oshiomhole said.
Claim: Adams Oshomole calls Besty Obaseki a childless woman?
Verdict: True
CDD War Room confirms that Oshiomhole called Besty Obaseki ‘childless’. Besty Obaseki however responded by saying that her contributions to society have gone beyond the biological aspect of motherhood. She countered that being fruitful is not limited to childbearing, but about impacting lives and creating positive change in society.
