Abimbola Fashola, wife of Babatunde Fashola, the former governor of Lagos, says her husband does not discuss political matters with her.
In an interview aired on News Central television on
Thursday, the former first lady of Lagos said there is a source through which
she gets political updates about her husband.
Abimbola did not provide any information when asked about
her husband’s “strained” relationship with his predecessor, Bola Tinubu, during
Fashola’s second term as governor of Lagos.
“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,”
she said.
“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.”
On accusations that the former Lagos governor had children
outside of wedlock, Abimbola said it was a defamation of character and a plot
to separate her from her husband.
“Some of my elderly women that I know told me not to worry
about everything that was being said,” she 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.”
