Pete Edochie shared his fondness for Mary (May's maiden name), highlighting her exceptional qualities and the positive impact she has on their family.
Pete Edochie while referring to May Edochie by her maiden name, Mary Aligwe, hinted at the pain her crashing marriage caused him.
He rained unending praises on his daughter-in-law while stating how it is hard to convince her about his non-involvement in his son’s move to take a second wife.
In his words;
“Mary is not just a daughter-in-law. I don’t want to say that I love Mary more than the other wives of my sons but the love I have for Mary is so strong, why?
The father and I were very close. Yes and when we went for the traditional marriage rites in their place, the kind of reception their people have me, I will never forget. Mary is a girl I love to the narrow. By the way, she is a wonderful person. Mary is a very brilliant girl. You may not know that.
Mary is a computer wizard, that lady you’re looking at right, and to a very large extent, the success of that home is to Mary’s credit, yeah. But again you know things like this happen and it’s so difficult to convince her that you’re not part of it. You know Mary is a wonderful person. In fact, I just had my 76th birthday and the message she put out was so endearing. Mary is a wonderful woman”.
