The former First Lady of Lagos State, Abimbola Fashola, has said that her husband is very supportive of her faith.
The wife of former Governor Babatunde Fashola said religion does not play a role in her family, but humanity and fear of God.
Mrs. Fashola stated this on Thursday in an interview with News Central. She disclosed while speaking on how they run the family since her husband is a Muslim and she is a Christian.
The former First Lady stressed that religion should not be a tool of division but unity. She emphasized that the former Minister of Works, Power and Housing always takes her to Church on Sunday.
“I’m from the Catholic background, so I don’t have personal pastors. I’m not a Pentecostal. It’s good for my mass. I like that. Personal pastor, yeah. I do my mass, go back home. And when I met my husband, my husband took me to church. He always take me to church, I know. And I have to attend mass and everything. And he knows that when I’m down, he gives me my rosary. Do you understand? He gives me my rosary when I’m down. He knows that I like my mother, Mary,” she said.
Mrs. Fashola said many times, she has been told to pray for her husband to convert to Christianity. She, however, maintained that what was important was worshipping God and not religion.
“So my husband is not forcing about religion. Religion does not make you. Religion just gives you the right parts and gives you the values and morals that you should stick by. I’m serving God. I’m not serving man. And I cannot put my trust in man. So I follow Christ, and I want to be Christ-like. People will say, why did you not pray that your husband should change to become a Christian? Tell me what most Christians are doing. Is he in that line? Does he fear God or not? Does he respect God? Does he believe in God? And that’s it for me. And so religion has nothing to do with my family. It’s faith,” Mrs. Fashola added.
