'You are Banished from Entering My Household !' - Pete Edochie Tells Son's Second Wife

‘You are Banished from Entering My Household !’ – Pete Edochie Orders Son’s Second Wife

"Gist" Family Discourse

Pete Edochie has finally reacted to the marriage of his son, Yul to a second wife. The elder statesman and veteran actor himself has banished Judy Austin from his household.


Pete who spoke Wednesday outrightly banished Judy Austin from entering his household insisting she is not welcome.

Yul set social media on fire recently after he introduced Judy as his second wife. This comes after 17 years of marriage and 4 children with May.

While reacting to the saga, Pete said, “I want the whole world and Nigerians to understand that as an Igbo man, I never support my son actions and as a statesman, I only recognized his first wife as the only authenticated wife of my son, the rest is banished from entering my household.”

He noted that marrying two wives does not confer a manly status on anyone.

Pete, who publicly endorsed his son, Yul, for the 2023 Nigerian presidential election, said that getting another wife simply means that one is ready to suffer and breed confusion among his generation.

The veteran actor bore his mind on the second wife and son that Yul had outside his knowledge, after having four children from the first wife.

According to him, “right from when Yul was still a child, he never listened to me.

“I’m not shocked that he has a son without my knowledge. A child that doesn’t listen to his father end up cutting his or her life span short.”

Yul, on Wednesday, rattled the social media space when he announced he had a son with his second wife, Judy Austin, who is also a Nollywood actress.

The actor made the announcement on his Instagram page on Wednesday, where he shared pictures of himself and the newborn son.

His father had in the past warned young men of the dangers of polygamy. Pete Edochie said on Twitter that “marrying two women doesn’t mean you are a man, it just means you are about to suffer and breed confusion among your generations.”

It his hoped that Yul’s second wife, Judy will seek wise counsel and take a decision before it gets too late.
