National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Rauf Aregbesola, has said he has been faithful to his wife, Sherifat, since their marriage.
It was said Aregbesola made the statement while addressing party supporters at the recent ADC rally held in Ejigbo Local Government Area of Osun State ahead of the August 15 governorship election.
Speaking in Yoruba, the former Osun State governor linked his claim of marital fidelity to his religious conviction, saying it was part of a personal promise he had made before God.
He stated that he was devoted only to God and claimed that very few men could make such a statement.
Aregbesola told his supporters that he founded his personal conduct on a prayer on the political ambition of the party in the state.
