Mrs. Betsy Obaseki, wife of the Governor of Edo State, has revealed that she is yet to have a child because she experienced miscarriages, painful stillbirths, and evacuations of babies who died in her womb.
Obaseki revealed this on Saturday while comforting childless women during a Zoom meeting with Edo women in the diaspora.
Her remarks served as a poignant response to a viral video featuring Senator Adams Oshiomhole’s unsavory comments regarding her own childless state.
Obaseki encouraged childless women to reframe their perceptions and regard themselves as veritable vessels of fruitfulness, replete with potential and proud mothers of progeny who shall arrive in the fullness of time, as ordained by the Divine Providence.

Addressing a gathering of over 200 women, who had convened from far-flung corners of the globe, Obaseki reminded her audience that every individual has been created by the Almighty for a purpose that transcends the mundane.
Obaseki said: “My words of comfort to you, like myself, who have conceived and experienced miscarriages, painful stillbirths, and evacuations of babies, who died in our wombs and as a result, have no children to show for the pain we have endured.
