Speaking during an interview with media personality Chude, the 77-year-old movie veteran made it clear that his bond with May goes beyond the usual in-law relationship.

Legendary Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie, has spoken about May Edochie's place in his life.

May is the estranged wife of his son, Yul.

Speaking during an interview with media personality Chude, the 77-year-old movie veteran made it clear that his bond with May goes beyond the usual in-law relationship.

In his own words, Pete Edochie said:

“May is not just a daughter-in-law. I don’t want to say that I love May more than the other wives of my sons. But the love I have for May is so strong. Why? The father and I were very close.

When we went for the traditional marriage rites in their place, the kind of reception their people gave me, I will never forget.

May is a girl I love to the marrow. By the way, she’s a wonderful person. May is a very, very brilliant girl. You may not know that. May is a computer wizard, that lady you’re looking at, right?

And to a very large extent, the success of that home is to May’s credit. Yeah.

But again, you know, things like this happen and it’s so difficult to convince her that you are not part of it. You know, May is a wonderful person.

In fact, I just had my 76th birthday. And the message she put out was so endearing, you know. Yeah. And May is a wonderful woman.

A lot of people have been advising her wrongly, you know, trying to see if they can sonder the link between herself and her husband.

Most of those women who are advising her that way don’t have good hopes, you know. They don’t.”

Pete’s words have since stirred reactions online, with many applauding him for openly acknowledging May’s role and brilliance in the Edochie family.
