Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has spoken about his frequent conversations on marriage with his son, Gbolahan, revealing that they share similar preferences in women.
Recall that Adeleke’s son and his wife, Damilola Adio, had their traditional wedding ceremony in Lagos State last weekend.
In a video from the event that is making the rounds online, Adeleke recounted his long-standing conversations with his son about settling down, noting that Gbolahan often responded playfully that he was still “testing”.
He said, “Adio family, we set a date, and it came to pass. All the phone calls, the visits to London to greet you and tell you that we wanted to marry this lady. My son, Gbolahan, and I had discussed for a long time when he was going to bring home a wife. He told me, ‘Daddy, I’m still testing,’ and I asked him how many times he was going to test.
“I had been studying my son whenever he brought someone home, and I discovered that we have the same spec. Whenever he brought any woman, I would say, ‘This isn’t your spec,’ and he would say he knew. I would then tell him to go and bring his spec.
“The day he brought home Damilola, I hugged him and said, ‘That’s it.’ So, I declare today that this is the day the Lord has made, and we shall all rejoice. Adio family, I want to thank you for accepting us to marry your daughter. You know your daughter was fresh when we came to marry her, and we will take care of her.”
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
