Contrary to the flier’s claim, the governor, through his spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed in a statement in Osogbo, on Monday, clarified that his other wife, Titilola Adeleke is the First Lady and would be the one to receive Tinubu’s wife during the visit.
The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke has disowned a flier purportedly emanating from the Office of one of his wives, Mrs Ngozi Adeleke that she would be welcoming Nigeria’s first lady, Oluremi Tinubu to the state.
Contrary to the flier’s claim, the governor, through his spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed in a statement in Osogbo, on Monday, clarified that his other wife, Titilola Adeleke is the First Lady and would be the one to receive Tinubu’s wife during the 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.
According to him, “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.”
The governor however maintained, “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."
