Women groups in Edo State are urging former APC National Chairman, Senator Adams Oshiomhole, to say sorry to the Obaseki family for referring to Dr. Besty Obaseki as being unable to have children.
Yesterday in Benin, the women, led by Maria Edeko, the Deputy Speaker of the Edo House of Assembly, made this demand during a protest.
Edeko stated, “It is sad to see a person (Oshiomhole) who has once governed the state, condescend to such a level.
“It is a taboo, a sacrilege and a desecration of Edo land to mock a woman or a couple for not bearing a child.
“Those who mock others for not having children yet could be described as one of the most ungrateful persons on earth.
“We rise as women of Edo State, home and abroad, to denounce the shameful conduct of Oshiomhole. We call on all women and couples that have gone through the pain of not bearing a child on time or not having a child at all, to express displeasure over the pathetic development.”
