Adeleke reveals identity of Osun first lady

Governor Ademola Adeleke has revealed that Titilola Adeleke not Ngozi is the official First Lady of Osun state.

The governor also 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.

Recall that the state government had announced Mrs Tinubu’s impending visit to the state on Tuesday during which she would turn the sod of the Alternative High School For Girls at Oke D.O, Ilesha Road, Osogbo.

Following the announcement, two different filers from Titilola and Ngozi, both wives of the governor welcoming the wife of the President to the state, went viral on the internet.

On the two filers, both women were referred to as First Lady of Osun State, raising concerns about who would receive Tinubu between the two wives of the governor.

However, in a statement on Monday, the spokesperson for the state governor, Olawale Rasheed, said Titilola Adeleke is the First Lady of the state and would receive Tinubu during the visit.

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.”
