The governor says the viral fliers were a plot to create confusion about the position of the first lady.

Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke has cleared the air concerning the controversy surrounding the Office of the First Lady of the state, following perceived battle over the position between his two wives.

Earlier today, two fliers surfaced online from the office of Ngozi Adeleke and Titilola Adeleke, welcoming Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu to the state. Clearly written on the fliers, both women were referred to as the First Lady of Osun State.

These fliers, which have gone viral on social media, reignited conversations about the perceived conflict between the two wives of the governor.

However, the governor has rebuked one of the fliers, calling it a plot to create confusion.

In a statement released by Olawale Rasheed, the governor’s spokesperson, Governor Adeleke maintained that there is no conflict over the position of the First Lady of Osun State.

He stated that the title belongs to Titilola Adeleke, and she would be the one to receive the president’s wife during her visit. He added that the person behind the purported flier from Ngozi Adeleke has been arrested.

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.”

He also clarified that Ngozi did not approve the flier, adding that it was shared by people who wanted to create confusion
