He made this revelation during an interview with Vanguard where he opened up on how he ended up marrying four wives.
According to him, he is a product of polygamy but didn’t support it, either his parents.
“I never envisaged being a polygamist though I am a product of one,” he disclosed. “My parents didn’t support it either. My first wife was a business woman. I craved for somebody who was in the same field with me.
He continued: “In those days, the best advice you can get is from your better half and that was how the second woman came to be. Along the line, I lost the two to child births within 11 months interval. I had seven children at that time, so I didn’t plan remarrying or having more children again.”
“But after much persuasion from my doctor and relatives, I decided to have a woman with the agreement of not having more children but a complete African woman will not agree to that. One thing led to the other and I got two women again. So being a polygamist is not intentional but God’s design which I do not have a right over,” he added.
