Women groups in Edo State have called on former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Adams Oshiomhole to apologise to the Obaseki family for describing Dr. Besty Obaseki as childless.
The women made the call yesterday in Benin, during a protest, which was led by the Deputy Speaker of the Edo House of Assembly, Maria Edeko.
Edeko said: “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.”
