• The women behind the rise of the former presidential aide
Chief Andy Uba looms large in the political circuit like a glorious military general but unknown to many, the political titan has two formidable amazons at his back. Andy’s wife, Obiageli and Pastor Faith, stand solidly behind him like the fabled rock of Gibraltar. Their prayers and goodwill, according to very close sources to the family, are the mainstay of his political career.
Thecapital findings revealed that, during his faceoff with the senate, the two women in his life, Obiageli and Pastor Faith, made it their priority to pray and stand by him as he battled with the National Assembly. At that period, even his most trusted aides and political associates deserted him thinking he had come to the end of his political career, but his women stood solidly by him, asking God to come to their aid and uplift him. Until you meet Pastor Faith Vedelago, official mistress of the former presidential aide, you might not understand the true import of the word, obscene extravagance.
The founder of the flourishing Abuja-based Faith Miracle International Christian Center, epitomizes extravagance. The half-caste lady whose father is Italian and her mother Bayelsan embodies ethereal beauty and poise. There is no gainsaying she is the major beneficiary of the monumental wealth Andy acquired in his eight years of service as former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s Special Assistant On Domestic Affairs. But while Andy and Faith are living la vida loca, Andy’s long suffering first wife, Obiageli, with whom he has four kids, is a quiet woman who loves to keep a low profile.
