Funsho Amosun recalls her marriage 24 years ago to Governor Ibikunle Amosun:
“I met him when I was having my national youth
service. My father was broad-minded and believed totally in God and we were
taught many biblical principles, among which was humility. Luckily for me, I
married a unique person, who has a large heart and who would do everything to
have people around him. My father would not discriminate and when I went to him
and said I was getting married to a Moslem, he said he would pray about it
after which he gave us his blessings. We got married 24 years ago.”

Confessing to still being a cook even as First
Lady, the mother of five said, “It’s like my husband fasts everyday and would
not eat until late at night. His favourite dish is rice and dodo (fried
plantain), which he may not eat until 1.00am. Since I cook rice for him everyday,
I also eat rice daily.”
