Adeleke addresses controversy over wives ahead Remi Tinubu’s visit

Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke

Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has said there is no conflict between his wives Ngozi and Titilola.

The governor’s statement on Monday signed by his spokesman Olawale Rasheed followed the controversy which trailed two fliers on the planned visit of first lady Remi Tinubu to Osun State.

Mrs Tinubu is scheduled to be in Osun on Tuesday to turn the sod of the Alternative High School for Girls in Osogbo.

Ahead of the visit, two different filers from the governor’s wives welcoming the first lady to the state went viral on the internet, raising concerns about who would receive Tinubu when she arrives.

Providing clarification on the matter, Mr Rasheed said Titilola would receive Tinubu during the visit, adding that the flier purportedly from Ngozi was fake.

The statement read, “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.”
