Abimbola Fashola, former Governor of Lagos state, Babatunde Fashola’s wife has said her husband doesn’t discuss political matters with her.
Gatekeepers News reports that Abimbola during an interview aired on News Central television on Thursday, said they don’t discuss politics, she however gets political updates about her husband from a source.
Abimbola made the statement when asked about her husband’s strained relationship with President Tinubu, during Fashola’s second term as Lagos State Governor.
She said, “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.”
“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.”
Commenting on accusations that Fashola had children outside of wedlock, the former first lady said it was a defamation of character schemed to separate her from her husband.
She said, “Some of my elderly women that I know told me not to worry about everything that was being 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.”
