Pete Edochie also touched on his relationship with Yul's second wife using an Igbo parable about a man bringing an ant-infested wood home from the farm as nothing but an invite for lizards to come home to roost.
He noted that he would forever be endeared to May because he sees her as his daughter, not just as a daughter-in-law.

"People want him to abuse Yul publicly ,No . Yul remains his son, right now he is prodigal and that is what prayer will solve, he is a man and men don't talk anyhow, you people should read between the lines, the praise he gave May though guarded is powerful, the success of the marriage , he attributed to her."

Yul Edochie: May allegedly sues for divorce from husband
Meanwhile, Legit.ng recalls reporting that this might be the most anticipated news within the Nigerian entertainment space as many may say they have been waiting to hear that Yul Edochie's first wife, May, has finally filed for divorce to leave her husband.
In a post by the Divorce blog that has gone viral on Facebook, DPA Family Law Clinic revealed the details of May Edochie's lawsuit and why it took so long before she filed for a divorce.
It was also revealed in detail why May considers Yul's marriage to Judy null because her husband married her under the 1970 marriage act and isn't allowed to have more than one wife at a time, unlike the customary marriage act.
