Afeez Adedigba, the Ibadan taxi driver who became an internet sensation for wearing his wife’s dress while driving a micra taxi, has provided a detailed explanation for his unusual choice of attire.
Adedigba, who was featured in a viral video clad in his wife’s dress, clarified the situation that led to this unusual wardrobedecision.
According to Adedigba, the primary reason for wearing his wife’s dress was a practical one. He explained that a heavy rainstorm had soaked his own clothes, and he had no other dry options available.
“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.’
Adedigba also addressed passenger reactions and rumors about his attire. He stated that he was not bothered by the comments from passengers and remains focused on his work, which is crucial for supporting his family. He clarified that the rumor about him fighting and tearing his clothes was false.
