Betsy Obaseki, the wife of Edo State Governor, has responded to Senator Adams Oshiomhole’s controversial remarks about her childlessness.
During a Zoom meeting with Edo women residing abroad, Mrs. Obaseki urged childless women to see themselves as “fruitful, potential, and proud mothers” awaiting their time as decreed by divine providence.
“My words of comfort to you, like myself, who have conceived and experienced miscarriages, painful stillbirths, and evacuations of babies who died in our wombs, is this, you are not barren,” she said.
“I dare to call you fruitful. You and I are potential and proud mothers of children who will come in God’s time.”

Mrs. Obaseki emphasized that every woman is created by God for a purpose and that being fruitful is not limited to childbearing.
“There is no point in feeling bad. Women can fulfill God’s purpose in many ways beyond motherhood,” she added.
Ifeyinwa Ighodalo, spouse of the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate, thanked the women for attending the meeting and promised to continue all of Betsy Obaseki’s programs for women and the girl child in Edo if her husband is elected.
