Actress, Mercy Aigbe’s husband, Kazim Adeoti explains why he didn’t celebrate his first wife, Olufunsho’s birthday on social media.
It would be recalled that Olufunsho had her 50th birthday in the US where she had a fitting celebration.
However, Kazim Adeoti was noticeablely absent at the event, and hadn’t celebrated her on social media either, causing netizens to blast him.
In a statement he released on his social media page, he noted that Olufunsho had expressedly told him not to attend nor celebrate her.
He wrote …
“This is to address the recent media comments surrounding Mrs Olufunsho Adeoti’s 50th birthday celebration which was held in the US last weekend.
For the avoidance of doubt, the celebrant spoke about her plan for her 50th birthday party and how she wished to celebrate it. She wanted a party but shockingly she specifically said I should not attend. I asked her again to be sure in the presence of our children and to everybody’s surprise her response was consistent-she said NO.
That was her wish and I would not want to be embarrassed by attending a party that the celebrant asked me not to attend, so I stayed back in Nigeria.
Regardless of how painful her position was to me, I ensured that I supported her morally and financially towards the success of the party. I also informed and ensured some of our families and friends in the USA honoured her big day.
As I always do, I wish her a happy birthday offline and she acknowledged pleasantly.
Olufunsho remains a significant part of my life . I can never wish her anything other than what is beautiful in life because she is the proud mother proud my four lovely children. That can never be undone intact it is the most important things in my life.
I therefore will appeal to members of the public especially the social media, particularly the Facebook community to desist from making unfound and distorted comments about my family if you truly love and care about us.
The best way to support us is to let peace reign as social media is not real life.
Thank you, and God bless you,
Kazim Adeoti.”
