Ondo State first lady Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu has urged mothers to raise their sons to respect womanhood.
Mrs Anyanwu-Akeredolu stated this on Tuesday via Twitter following news that Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom had reconciled Channels TV reporter Pius Angbo with his wife Ifeyinwa Angbo after she accused him of domestic violence throughout their six-year marriage.
“On Benue domestic violence gone viral…Nigerian Mothers, it’s ur responsibility to raise ur sons 2 respect womanhood. Counsel them not 2 turn somebody’s daughter 2 a punch bag. Wife beating no matter d circumstance is UNACCEPTABLE!” the first lady wrote.
“It’s a no no 4 me & ppl wt a sense of decency!!”
In another tweet, she said: “Women are not rehabilitation for badly raised men. Real men don’t beat their wives. Mothers do your job from infancy!!!”
News of the reconciliation has generated varied reactions from Nigerians on social media.
