Afeez Adedigba, a Micra taxi driver from Ibadan, Oyo State, has shared the reason behind his decision to wear his wife’s dress while driving, an action that quickly went viral.
Adedigba, who was captured in a viral video donning his wife’s attire, explained that he resorted to the unusual outfit after his own clothes were drenched by rain.
With no other option available at the time, he opted to wear his wife’s dress.
During an interview with media personality Ayo Adams on Monday, Adedigba revealed that he had informed his wife about his decision to use the dress in his car, and she agreed to it.
“This is not the only cloth of my wife that I have. They are about two. The first time I took the dress, it was raining heavily, and all my clothes were drenched. I had no choice but to take hers since I was still interested in working that day.
“So now, I wear the dress when it rains and put on mine when it stops. That’s why it is always in my vehicle.”
While fielding questions on the passengers’ comments about seeing him in the dress, Adedigba noted that none of their comments moved him because he only focused on his mission which is to take appreciable money home and deliver to the owner of the vehicle.
“It has been quite an age I’ve been driving this micra. And I only seek God’s favour on the job. I moved to driving when I couldn’t raise funds to start the sales of tyres that I learnt at a tender age,” he said.
The driver quelled the rumour that he fought, and his clothes were torn, which was why he resorted to wearing his wife’s dresses.
He also spoke about having only one wife and four children, whom he said were why he strived so hard to meet their needs.
