Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has declared that she will now treat her former daughter-in-law, May Edochie, as her biological daughter.
This was despite the end of her marriage to May’s former husband, Yul Edochie.
The separation of May Edochie from her actor husband, Yul, following his remarriage to fellow actress Judy Austin, as well as the tragic loss of their son, Kambilichukwu, is well-known.
Rita took to her Instagram page to express her support for May, likening herself to a protective mother hen.
In a message directed at those urging her to leave May alone, Rita stated that May is now her daughter and vowed to fiercely defend her.
She pledged to confront anyone hindering May’s well-being.
She emphasized her role as May’s mother figure and warned against any attempts to undermine her support for May.
“JUST LIKE THE MOTHER HEN WILL ALWAYS SPREAD HER LEGS, TRYING TO PROTECT HER CHICKS FROM THE RAIN AND HARSH SUN, I WILL EVEN DO MORE FOR MY DAUGHTER QUEEN MAY YUL EDOCHIE.
“TO THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE INSISTING THAT I SHOULD LEAVE QUEEN MAY YUL EDOCHIE ALONE WITH REASONS OF HER NOT BEING MY DAUGHTER, AND TO THOSE OF YOU WHO ALSO THINK YOU CAN LOSE YOUR GUARD AGAINST HER, THINKING SHE DOESN’T HAVE A MOTHER, I WANT YOU ALL TO NOTE.
THAT I AM HER MOTHER, NEVER WILL I LEAVE HER ALONE, SHE IS MY DAUGHTER AND I WILL ALWAYS STAND AGAINST ANYONE WHO WON’T LET HER BREATHE.
“I RITA EDOCHIE, THE IJELE, THE FEAR THAT FEARS FEARS, NTI RUBBER, ALUSI AGBA OTO EFE WILL DEAL THE HECK OUT OF ANYONE MAKING HIS OR HERSELF AN OPPONENT TO QUEEN MAY. ANYTHING FOR MY DEAREST DAUGHTER QUEEN MAY YUL EDOCHIE.
“COME FOR ME AND I WILL CONSUME YOU, I STAND WITH MY DAUGHTER QUEEN MAY YUL EDOCHIE, AND WILL ALWAYS STAND WITH HER TILL INFINITY”.
