Media mogul and politician, Dele Momodu, has criticised former Edo Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, over his recent comment on the governor of Edo, Godwin Obaseki, and his wife, Betsy.
The lawmaker had labelled the Obaseki’s wife as being “childless”.
Oshiomhole’s comment was reportedly made during a political rally, sparking widespread condemnation.
Reacting, Momodu who took to his Instagram handle on Monday, described Oshiomhole’s remark as “unacceptable” and “below the belt”, emphasising that some issues transcend politics.
Momodu urged politicians to maintain decorum and respect for opponents’ personal lives.
‘’My very dear Egbon Comrade ADAMS, Sir, I have watched this video endlessly and to say I’m shocked and mortified at how low you sank is to put it mildly.
“I pray you will find the courage to apologise publicly for this horrendous tantrum. It is never a crime to be childless.
“You could easily have said your candidate has a wife and children and leave it there but you went too far in this diatribe. Is it more than POLITICS?!!” He wrote.
