First ladies are ‘executive prisoners’ – Aregbesola’s wife



Wife of the Governor of the State of Osun, Mrs. Sherifat Aregbesola
Wife of Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola, Sherifat, on Monday described all first ladies in Nigeria as ‘executive prisoners.’


The first ladies comprised of the wife of the President and wives of the state governors.

Mrs. Aregbesola, who spoke in an interview with journalists before the end of the year party she organised for children in Osogbo, said contrary to the belief that first ladies were enjoying, she said that governors’ wives had no freedom to live the way they liked.

She said that herself and her colleagues were involved in some projects in order not to be useless throughout their stay at the various Government Houses.

She said, “All first ladies are executive prisoners. They are all here now (referring to security aides) and I can’t go to anywhere without them following me.

“Who among the First Ladies is free? Who among First Ladies can go anywhere they like? All the First Ladies are executive prisoners. We can only dress like this and smile to the cameras but we are executive prisoners.”

Wife of Enugu State Governor Sullivan Chime, Clara, recently cried out that she had been detained in the Government House, where she allegedly suffered depression. She has however been set free by her husband and has left the Government House.

Mrs. Aregbesola said that her husband was a very simple and caring man whom she would want to marry again.

He debunked the speculations that the governor was a religious fanatic, saying that her husband allowed children living under his roof to practice Christianity despite that he was a Muslim.

She said, “My husband is a very simple man. He is a very nice man and I wonder where those behind the rumour get their information from. I have lived with him for more than 30 years. I know him very well. He is very simple and kind. He is very passionate about the development of the state. He works so hard to ensure that things are working well.

“My husband allows everybody to practise their religions. His immediate younger sister is a Christian. Two of her children are living with us now and they go to church. I encourage them to go to church on Sunday.

“His younger brother, Rafiu, is a Christian; I mean he is a deacon. There are Ladi and Sikira who are Christians. The rumour about him being a fanatic is all about politics.”
