Afeez Adedigba, the taxi driver who went viral for wearing his wife’s dress while operating a ‘Micra’ taxi in Ibadan, Oyo State, has revealed the reason behind his surprising choice of attire.
In a viral video, Adedigba was spotted driving while wearing his wife’s clothing.
In an interview with a media personality, Ayo Adams, on Monday, the driver explained that his clothes were soaked by the rain, so the quickest solution was to wear his wife’s dress, which was readily available.
He said, “This is not the only cloth of my wife that I have. They are about two. The first time I took the dress, it was raining heavily, and all my clothes were drenched. I had no choice but to take hers since I was still interested in working that day.
“So now, I wear the dress when it rains and put on mine when it stops. That’s why it is always in my vehicle.’
He revealed he was unfazed by passengers’ comments, adding that he was focused solely on earning money and delivering it to the vehicle’s owner.
“It has been quite an age I’ve been driving this micra. And I only seek God’s favour on the job. I moved to driving when I couldn’t raise funds to start the sales of tyres that I learnt at a tender age,” he said.
Adedigba also shared that he has one wife and four children, who motivate him to work hard to provide for their needs. (Vanguard)
