Nigerians have chastised May Edochie, the first wife of popular actor Yul Edochie over her anniversary message to her father-in-law, Pete Edochie and his wife.
Pete Edochie and his wife celebrated their 53rd wedding anniversary on October 1st.
May Edochie posted a photo of her in-laws on her Instagram account to honor the pair and share in their happiness.
She wrote: “PLS FAM JOINED ME TO CELEBRATE THE GREAT @PETEEDOCHIE AND HIS ADORABLE WIFE. WE ARE GRATEFUL TO THE ALMIGHTY FOR THE GIFT OF LIFE. 53 YEARS AND COUNTING! MAY GOD CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN YOU BOTH AND GIVE YOU PEACE”.
Reactions followed the anniversary post, with some asking why she didn’t refer to Pete Edochie as her father-in-law or as something more personal like “mummy and daddy,” while others commended her for honouring and celebrating the marriage despite the rift between her and her husband
Since Yul married his colleague Judy Austin as a second wife, May has repeatedly stated that she will not accept the position of co-wife because she does not believe in polygamy
