Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Dele Momodu, has expressed his shock and dismay over a recent remark made by Senator Adams Oshiomhole about Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki and his wife, Betsy. Oshiomhole referred to the couple as childless while responding to a comment made by Mrs. Obaseki.
During a PDP campaign event, Betsy Obaseki pointed out that the All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate, Monday Okpebholo, does not have a wife, and urged voters to support the PDP’s candidate, Asue Ighodalo, who is married.
In response, Oshiomhole stated that Mrs. Obaseki should not comment on others’ marital status given that she and her husband do not have children.
Reacting to the comment, Dele Momodu shared his disappointment on Instagram, describing Oshiomhole’s remark as a “horrendous tantrum” and urging him to apologize publicly. Momodu emphasized that being childless is not a crime and criticized Oshiomhole for going too far in his response, suggesting that he could have simply stated his candidate’s family status without attacking Obaseki and his wife.
