Abimbola Fashola, wife of Babatunde Fashola, the former governor of Lagos, has recounted how many thought she would abandon her husband over the allegation of having children outside wedlock
Mrs Fashola, during a recent interview on News Central television on Thursday, noted that the allegations were a plot by the enemies to cause separation between her and her husband.
She said, “Some of my elderly women that I know told me not to worry about everything that was being said.
“They said that they had defended me, and I should accept the children. They said they know me very well and that I would ask anyone who has a child for my husband to bring them in.
“It was defamation of character. I did not talk about it at all with him. My father had several wives; I have younger ones.
“They thought I was going to leave my husband. And I know he did not do it. Most people would think we don’t talk. I’m not saying he is a perfect man, but he carries me along.”
The erstwhile first lady also said that her husband does not discuss political matters with her.
She however noted that she has an unnamed source where she gets political updates about her husband from.
“My husband doesn’t discuss political things with me. I don’t get to hear from my husband. I get to hear from a source. I have a source.
“It is like a spiritual guide for you to know what you are praying about. That is the way I see it. I don’t have two prayers,” she added
