First Lady of Lagos state,
Dame Abimbola Fashola has opened up on how she and Governor Fashola have
been able to manage their home despite their religious differences.
“We got married in the Church, the Catholic church, that is who I am,
that’s where you will take me from and that was done. But ever since
then my husband has practiced his religion and I have practiced mine.
There is no trouble whatsoever. My husband has his own part of the house
where he prays, I have my own altar there with my crucifix and my
rosary and everything and everyone is minding their own business. When
its time for family prayer, we pray. I pray mine to the name of Jesus
Christ while he prays in Allah’s name & the children understand all
that. My children are baptized and they go to church. When he wants them
to go to mosque with him they go to the mosque with him.” she told Channels TV.
Mrs Fashola also revealed that to get her husband to do something she
wants personally, he would ask her to put it in writing so that he would
not forget and give it urgent attention. She said it has become
important now that everything that she needs to be done has to be
documented and passed to her husband because that is how he says he can
manage the homefront and the state effectively.
