Aregbesola: I’ve Never Slept With Another Woman Since Marrying My Wife

National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, Rauf Aregbesola, has declared that he has remained faithful to his wife, Sherifat, throughout their marriage.

Aregbesola made the declaration while addressing supporters at an ADC campaign rally in Ejigbo Local Government Area of Osun State ahead of Saturday’s governorship election.

Speaking in Yoruba, the former Osun State governor said his fidelity was a personal commitment he made to God.

He said although many men might find such a claim difficult to make, his devotion to God had helped him remain committed to his wife.

“Oh Lord my God, if you are the one I am serving, and I did not add any other thing to it. What I am about to say, only a few men can say it: Because of your fear, I never had any intimacy with another woman since I married my wife,” he said.

Aregbesola also expressed confidence in his party’s chances in the election, saying, “I told God that next June, we must do it at the Government House.”

His comments came as political parties intensified their campaigns ahead of the August 15 governorship election.

The election will feature incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party, APC candidate Bola Oyebamiji and ADC candidate Najeem Folasayo Salaam.

The poll will be conducted across the 30 local government areas of Osun State.
