Pete Edochie gives accolades to May Edochie and speaks of his love for her
Last month, Pete Edochie, in an interview with Chude Jideonwo, gave May Edochie flowers as he spoke of his love for her.
He credited her for being the success behind her and Yul’s 18-year marriage, as he noted how many underestimate May, whom he described as exceptionally brilliant and a computer wizard.
The veteran described May as not just his daughter-in-law but his beloved, as he technically stated that he loves her more than the other wives of his sons.
