I’ve No Child Outside Wedlock – Governor Amosun

Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has denied the rumour circulating that he has love children and engaged in extra-marital affairs.

The governor, on Friday dispelled the rumour circulating in the state that he had a set of twins with a National Youth Service Corps member and that he has relocated her and the new-borns to the United Arab Emirates.

Amosun, speaking at a town hall meeting at the June 12 Cultural Centre in Abeokuta, said the rumour spread so much that his mother – In-law had to call him to verify what she was hearing about his ‘second wife’ and the ‘twins’.

He said the rumour also reached the notice of his wife, Olufunso.

The governor swore that he has never been involved with another woman since his marriage to his wife 26 years ago.

He said keeping one wife is challenging enough today in Nigeria that he could not imagine doubling the challenge.

Amosun said the authors of the rumour could beat late British fiction writer, James Hadley Chase, in “fiction concoction” in their bid to malign him.

‎He, however, said he was trying to fish out those purveying rumours and falsehoods against him with a view to holding them to justice.

Also dispelling a rumour that operatives of Economic and Financial Crime Commission raided his house and found huge sums of money in a vault, Governor Amosun said it was the latest in the series of falsehoods being circulated against him.
