A
member of the lower House of the National Assembly representing Ife
federal constituency, Hon. Rotimi Makinde has come out to defend his
decision to take a new wife, Oyebanke Oyelami, a final year student of
political science from the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Osun
State after waiting for a while.
The
young and dynamic legislator who was a movie actor, producer, auto
dealer, hotelier and an accountant at the Nigeria National Petroleum
Corporation, NNPC before joining politics recently stepped out with
beautiful Oyebanke, the reigning Miss Osun State and this has started
generating controversy in some quarters as some bad belles have said the
man dumped his first wife for the beauty queen.
According to him in a recent chat with National Enquirer, “there
are things people don`t know and instead of minding their business,
they meddle into other people`s privacy, as a matter of fact, I
recognize the fact that am a public figure by my present position as a
lawmaker but I also know that some facts must be put straight for future
purposes”, he stressed.
Speaking
further, the lawmaker who has been adjudged as one of the best in South
West going by his impressive track records and various projects that
have touched many lives has this to say, “naturally,
it is not in my habit to discuss my family especially my wife who bore
me my grown up kids but just for the records, people need to know that
my wife has left me ever before I got elected into the federal house of
representatives and I’ve since given her the benefit of doubt for
reconciliation but all were to no avail, hence my decision to move ahead
and not without the consent of my children”, he explained.
Answering
question on the interest in the new liaison, the lawmaker who has just
been given a chieftaincy title of Bobagunwa of Ila Orangun by the royal
father, Oba Bolarinwa said what interest him in his new wife is that,
she is the first ever lady that will call his bluff despite his status, “can
you believe that, it took me a while to chase this lady, I have never
seen her rare type before, that’s why I didn’t waste any time when she
eventually gave me the chance because I need to proof to her that, I
mean serious business”, he told.
The duo recently had an introduction and will be walking down the aisle very soon.
