Former First Lady, Abimbola Fashola Responds To Infidelity Rumors In Her Marriage
OpenLife Nigeria reports that in an insightful conversation with Morayo Afolabi Brown, Abimbola “Dami” Fashola, wife of former Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola (SAN), shared insights into her family life, marriage, and how faith has shaped their relationship.
The discussion began with a question aimed at Governor Fashola: “Why did you marry a believer?” referring to his Christian wife.
Babatunde Fashola responded thoughtfully:
“I think I’m very fortunate. My maternal family were Christians, and I grew up with my mother who is Christian. So, every Sunday, as the sun shines, I’m in St. Jude’s Anglican Church, Ebute Metta. I know nothing about Islam. Marriage, at the end of the day, is about who both of you are.”
Turning to her perspective, Abimbola Fashola addressed persistent rumors about her husband’s fidelity during his tenure as governor:
“Not at all, never. But I heard a story from my sisters that my husband had another family in Magodo. I was like, really? My own husband? I said, okay, not to worry, because I know the relationship my husband and I share.
We talk about mostly everything because marriage is all about communication.
Most times when I hear stories like that, I wait for the Holy Spirit to guide me. Then I asked him, ‘I heard you have another family in Magodo.’ He was surprised and said he had only been to Magodo during his campaign, so no such thing.”
The former First Lady also shared a side of her husband rarely seen by the public what truly makes him angry:
“You know, when God gives you an assignment, you will lead in a calm manner. But that he doesn’t get angry is a lie.”
Her candid reflections paint a picture of a marriage built on trust, communication, and mutual respect, even amidst the pressures of political life and public scrutiny.
Abimbola Fashola’s words highlight that beyond the official titles and public appearances, their relationship thrives on faith, understanding, and open dialogue.
This interview offers readers an intimate glimpse into the personal life of one of Nigeria’s most prominent political couples, showing that the strength of a relationship often lies in honesty, patience, and spiritual guidance.
