WHY IS HE TRENDING

Professor Dominic Fobih, former Minister of Education, is trending because there has been some reports that he is married to nine wives. He has however reacted to these rumours in town with a simple answer.

He revealed that he just got married and there is no truth in what some media houses are saying.

“I don’t have nine wives, I have one wife, I just got married. I didn’t have a wife before so I’ve just got married. Who in Ghana has nine wives. If anybody is commenting on nine wives the person has been misled. Those who are commenting are commenting on what they’ve read and that is borne out of ignorance,” Prof. Fobih said in an interview with Starr FM.
