I Told Him ‘This Is Not Your Spec’ – Governor Adeleke Talks About Son’s Choice Of Wife

Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has spoken about his frequent conversations on marriage with his son, Gbolahan, revealing that they share similar preferences in women.

Recall that Adeleke’s son and his wife, Damilola Adio, had their traditional wedding ceremony in Lagos State last weekend.

In a video from the event that is making the rounds online, Adeleke recounted his long-standing conversations with his son about settling down, noting that Gbolahan often responded playfully that he was still “testing”.

The Governor said he had closely observed his son’s relationships over the years and always knew the ladies he previously brought home were not the right match.

Adeleke said he and his son have the same spec, adding that the moment Gbolahan brought Damilola home, he was convinced he had found the right partner.

He said, “Adio family, we set a date, and it came to pass. All the phone calls, the visits to London to greet you and tell you that we wanted to marry this lady. My son, Gbolahan, and I had discussed for a long time when he was going to bring home a wife. He told me, ‘Daddy, I’m still testing,’ and I asked him how many times he was going to test.

“I had been studying my son whenever he brought someone home, and I discovered that we have the same spec. Whenever he brought any woman, I would say, ‘This isn’t your spec,’ and he would say he knew. I would then tell him to go and bring his spec.

“The day he brought home Damilola, I hugged him and said, ‘That’s it.’ So, I declare today that this is the day the Lord has made, and we shall all rejoice. Adio family, I want to thank you for accepting us to marry your daughter. You know your daughter was fresh when we came to marry her, and we will take care of her.”
