Oluyinka Davids, the father of Morireluwa, the beautiful
girl who won the 2015 PZ Cusson baby moment which held in Lagos on February 1st,
has cried out after his wife, Funmi Davids, who he is currently separated from,
took another man to represent him at the grand finale of the competition
In an interview with Encomium mag, Oluyinka (above) said
he and his wife separated a while back and she moved out of their matrimonial
home. He said to get back at him, she took another man, her younger sister's
husband, to pose as the father of his daughter during the finale of the
competition. He said he got his daughter registered for the competition but
that as the little girl was advancing in the competition, she shut him out. I
got a copy of the mag and typed out the interview.
"Yes I
started it all, got my daughter registered, got her a professional
photographer, personally worked and also employed a PR person who worked
tirelessly for her on the contest. I knew she would win. I often told her so. I
sometimes even rehearsed how she would be announced the winner and yes she did
win, all the glory to God. Myself and my wife had a serious misunderstanding
which led to temporary separation but I never ignored or denied the fact that
the baby she's carrying is my daughter. I am still responsible for her upkeep
even till now. She called me and said "Your daughter Morireoluwa
Davids needed a two minute video for the next stage of the competition".
That was when I knew she made it to the third stage. And I was like so because
she needs a video and her father is a cinematographer, that is why I am getting
to know my baby had gone this far in a competition I registered her. Meanwhile
shortly before this, during my daughter's first birthday, I ordered a big
customized cake, clothes and toys for her. She turned the person I sent to
deliver the stuff. I was embarrassed and deeply hurt. She was so rude and mannerless.
She said so many things to me. I still have her message saved. So I told her to
go and get the video done elsewhere for our baby because she only had to tell
me because some of my staff she asked without my permission turned her
down" he said
Oluyinka
said what his wife did by bringing another man to represent him at the finale
was clearly a case of impersonation & blamed the organizers.
Oluyinka said the man used to impersonate him at the PZ
baby competition was the husband to the younger sister of his wife
"It feels terrible to be impersonated. Especially
because I know the guy. His real name is Dehinde Olayokun. He is married to
Boluwatife Olayiwola Olayokun who happens to be my wife's youngest sister. She
and her immediate elder brother, Dayo Olayiwola, with some boys had harassed
and beaten me up in my house which is one of the reasons my wife and I are
having a misunderstanding"he said
Oluyinka says his lawyer is working to seek legal redress.
His wife, Mrs Funmi Davids when contacted via phone told
the magazine...
"It
is better you sleep around than the cheap job you think you are doing. If you
ever call my number again, you will regret your life".
Meanwhile the management of PZ Cusson speaking through its
brand manager, Seun Ayeni, say they see the matter as a domestic one and do not
want to get involved
"We
have spoken to the lawyer of the biological father of the baby, Mr Oluyinka
Davids and we do not want to get involved in their domestic issues. Our lawyer
is already handling the issue and we are okay with that" he said
