Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has debunked a misleading flier falsely claiming that one of his wives, Mrs. Ngozi Adeleke, would be hosting Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, during her visit to the state.
In a statement made available to the media by his spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, the governor clarified that his official wife, Titilola Adeleke, holds the position of First Lady and will be the one to receive Mrs. Tinubu during her visit.
He said, “The attention of Mr Governor has been drawn to fake news in circulation about conflict over who among the Governor’s two wives is to host the First Lady of Nigeria, Her Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu on her official visit to the State tomorrow.”
“For clarification, Chief (Mrs) Titilola Adeleke, the First Lady of Osun, is officially hosting the First Lady of the Republic tomorrow in line with the directive of Mr Governor. There is no confusion on this official position.”
“The state government under Governor Ademola Adeleke is set to receive the First Lady and her team in Osun State.
Continuing, Rasheed clarified that “the flier circulating purportedly from the Office of Ngozi Adeleke, was fake and the person behind it had been arrested.”
“Ngozi did not authorise the flier, as the material was manufactured and shared by elements who wanted to sow discord and create an atmosphere of confusion.”
“There was no conflict over who among his two wives would host the First Lady, who is billed to visit Osun on Tuesday during which she would turn the sod of the Alternative High School For Girls at Oke D.O, Ilesha Road, Osogbo,” he maintained.
