“Because of fear of Allah, I’ve never slept with any other woman since I got married” – Aregbesola

Rauf Aregbesola, national secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), says he has never been intimate with any other woman since he married his wife, Sherifat.

Speaking at a recent ADC rally in Ejigbo LGA, ahead of the state’s gubernatorial election, Aregbesola said his fidelity was part of a personal test he set for himself, adding that his devotion is solely to God.

Addressing party members in Yoruba, the former Osun governor noted that his stance is not common among many men, and that he had used it as a basis for a divine request.

“Oh Lord my God, if you are the one I am serving, and I did not add any other thing to it. What I am about to say, only a few men can say it: Because of your fear, I never had any intimacy with another woman since I married my wife,” Aregbesola said.

“I told God that next June, we must do it at the government house.”

The Osun governorship election is scheduled for Saturday, August 15, 2026.

Ademola Adeleke, candidate of the Accord Party, is seeking reelection against Bola Oyebamiji of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Najeem Folasayo Salaam of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
