The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has clarified that his wife, Titilola, is the first lady of the state.
Earlier today, a flier from his second wife, Ngozi, referring to herself as the first lady of the state, made the rounds on social media. The flier was designed to welcome Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, who is billed to visit the state on Tuesday, April 22. A flier from Titi also made the rounds.
However, the spokesperson for the state governor, Olawale Rasheed, said Titilola Adeleke is the First Lady and would receive Tinubu during the visit.
He further said the flier circulating purportedly from the Office of Ngozi Adeleke, was fake adding that the person behind it had been arrested. He also said 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 statement reads
“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 State, 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.”
