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.

Mrs. Obaseki drew the first blood by going personal instead of focusing on issues. She attacked APC candidate of not having a wife though he adopted children.

Obviously, a mature man who rather adopted children instead marrying a wife and breeding children may have a reproductive challenge as serious as that of a childless woman.

Mrs. Obaseki should that people who live in glass house should restrain from throwing stones.

May God help heal us to have our own bundles of joy. Amen

This oshomhole of a pig still doesn't yet know to talk..

Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Words hurt differently.

Nice response but I don't get why a rich person like you would be childless till now

IVF surrogate won't cost more than 20 million

Oshiomhole got diarrhea of the mouth

The only governor with the foreign direct investment he ever attracted was to import a woman from Cape Verde.

Unintelligent woman… must you respond. Silence is golden

So Mrs obaseki is still hoping to bear children as she approaches 70yrs?
I thought this her response was going to tell us how many adopted children bears the name obaseki..

Both she, Osho and obaseki are mad.

wow
So pple like u do exist ??

As long as politicians are unhappy then it’s ok. They have collectively brought total rot in our system.

Instead of the ibo, Yoruba, and Hausa man to realize that the common enemy is the political class they come here abusing and exchanging tribal slurs. Bunch of poor retards.

Typical woman, starts trouble and then plays the victim. She made things personal and was replied in kind.

Might be a matter of principle. For eg, if she was a deep rooted catholic, she wouldn't have opted for either.

MADAM adopt a child now you are in your 60's. People you are richer than have gone that path.All this wealth who will inherit them?
Adopt or go for surrogacy.

Unintelligent man, it's her choice.
Free her !

You are right, the man might be having reproductive health issues, maybe that's why he is single and has opted for adoption.
I don't know why we think it's only the woman that can't bear children, some don't know the challenge might be from the man too

Oshiomole that told a widow to get out and with his ugly face he went to marry a foreigner who divorced him and left him a bachelor till date.


If he's comfortable about calling someone that's married a barren woman, he should talk about being a bachelor at 60.....

Politicians washing their dirty linens outside. The woman should not have honor oshiomole with a response.

Madam have you ever giving birth to a child or not? That's very simple question

Tor but I wasn't expecting the woman to stylishly throw a jab at the APC candidate stylishly telling him how he doesn't have a wife.
Oshomole ma sef no try for that kinda gutter talk.

Haha. Baba Osho get bad mouth o. The woman should have known better than now playing the victim. It rains you get wet.

Nobody ever said anything about barrenness until she decided to shame and mock the unmarried political opponents in a condescending manner.

When you live in glass house, don't throw stones to your neighbours' compound because they may throw dynamite in retaliation.
