Governor Obaseki’s Wife Replies Oshiomhole I Am Not Barren . by Antoeni(op): 9:05am On Sep 08, 2024
Oshiomhole said the governor and his wife refused to adopt any child because they did not love children.

Betsy Obaseki, the wife of the Edo State Governor, has stated that she is a potential and proud mother of children who will come in God’s time.

A former governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole had described his successor, Godwin Obaseki and his wife, Betsy Obaseki as childless.

The Edo North Senator recently made the controversial comment. He was reacting to a statement by Betsy, in which she reportedly claimed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in the state, Monday Okpebholo did not have a wife.

In the video, Oshiomhole said the governor and his wife refused to adopt any child because they did 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.”

However, Betsy while addressing women during a Zoom meeting with Edo women in the diaspora on Saturday, urged childless women not to see themselves as barren but as fruitful, potential, and proud mothers of children that would come in God’s time.

She reminded them that everyone was created by God for a purpose, adding that she was yet to have a child because she experienced miscarriages, painful stillbirths, and evacuations of babies who died in her womb.

She said, “My words of comfort to you, like myself, who have conceived and experienced miscarriages, painful stillbirths, and evacuations of babies who died in our wombs, is this, ‘You are not barren’.

“I dare to call you fruitful. You and I are potential and proud mothers of children who will come in God’s time. Enjoy the life God has given you.

“Take your mind off your challenge, and before you know it, children will start coming.

"My contributions to society have gone beyond the biological aspect of motherhood. Being fruitful is not limited to childbearing. It is about impacting lives and creating positive change in society.”

“There is no point in feeling bad. Women can fulfil God’s purpose in many ways beyond motherhood,” she added.

When Oshiomole told a widow 'go and die', that's when I knew that man is a witch.

Oshiomole has exhibited the highest level of insensitivity despite occupying the leadership position in the country.
Women advocacy groups should teach him some lessons.

If she has conceived then she's not barren
She's not a biological mother but definitely not barren
Barrenness is inability to conceive
But that's why it's not good to run mouth on such matters
Oshiomole now looks worse than he looked when he told a widow to go and die out of ignorance

Oshiomole doesn't know how to control his mouth and that's why he talks anyhow.

God will bless your womb very soon Mrs Obaseki.

You just asked the most stupid, insensitive and senseless question of the century.

I just pray people like you don't find themselves in the corridor of power someday.

You have proven to be worse than Oshiomole, buhari, Tinubu and obi combined.

as a leader it was wrong of oshiomhole to speak the way he did but is it justifiable for women to mock men who decide to do whatever they want to do with their life?

The woman mocked Monday okpebholo of not having a wife prior to oshiomholes attack.
Why is the woman not also being reprimanded for her careless and useless statement as well?
