While tribal relations in Southern Nigeria have deteriorated of late, many marriages between Yorubas and Igbos continue to thrive in all strata of society. Notable of such unions is the one between the executive governor of the state of Osun, Prince Ademola Adeleke, and his Imo born wife, Ngozi.
The Osun First lady lived in the South West for the first time as a youth corp member serving with the now defunct Societe Generale Bank, having schooled up to Masters level in the East.
As fate would have it, she was retained at the bank’s Dugbe, Ibadan branch and went on to work almost 23 years in the banking industry leaving only in 2018 to support her husband’s political career.
The transition for her, was not too difficult.
