Governor picks authentic First Lady among wives

CITIZENS COMPASS–The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has disowned a flier purportedly from the Office of one of his wives, Mrs Ngozi Adeleke, welcoming Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu to the state.

Adeleke described the flier purportedly from Ngozi as fake.

He said there was no conflict among his two wives over who would host the First Lady, who is billed to visit Osun on Tuesday 

Shortly after a press statement signed by the Osun State Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Mr Kolapo Alimi, which announced Tinubu’s impending visit was released to the public, two different filers emerged by Mrs Titilola and Ngozi Adeleke, both wives of the governor welcoming wife of the president to the state went viral on the internet.

While clarifying the matter, the Spokesman for the state governor, Olawale Rasheed, in a statement on Monday, 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.

Tinubu will visit the Alternative High School For Girls at Oke D.O, Ilesha Road, Osogbo.

Earlier, both women were referred to as First Lady of Osun State, raising concerns about who would receive Tinubu between them.
