The wife of Odogwu Asaba has apologised to women who criticised her for publicly defending her husband amid allegations surrounding his alleged affair with another woman.
In a video, she admitted that she had seen the reactions to her earlier comments and acknowledged that many people felt she should not have come out to defend him.
“I want to use this opportunity to apologise to all the women that feel offended because I stood by my husband Udo Kwasaba. I shouldn’t have done that. I shouldn’t have shown my face,” she said.
She said she questioned whether her husband would have defended her in the same situation, adding that she regretted coming out with her children to defend a man accused of cheating. ChildCare
She also described herself as a “male-centred woman” and said her decision to defend her husband was partly influenced by her financial dependence on him.
According to her, she has been a housewife without a business or professional skills, while her husband has been responsible for providing for her, their four children and even her parents.
“I was scared. I was scared if he comes out, he’s going to reject me,” she said, explaining why she initially chose to stand by him.
However, despite apologising, she made it clear that she still believes her husband and intends to defend him.
She said that although he admitted to being involved with the woman, he denied forcing himself on her, and she said she had never known him to force himself on a woman during their eight years together.
“I believe him 100%. Even if I can’t defend it. Even if I can’t prove it. I believe him,” she said.
She also pushed back against people telling her to leave her marriage, arguing that her husband is the father of her four children and that, as long as she and her children are safe and cared for, she has no reason to abandon the marriage because of public opinion. ChildCare
“I am going to fight for the man that made me a mother,” she said.
