In an interview with City People where he debunked the rumour of parting ways with Bimbo, he said, ” There are so many rumours out there that made me to develop a thick skin. So I keep them guessing all the time because the news still keeps circulating. The wedlock has produced two lovely children; a boy and a girl. So what else is there to say? For a man clocking 60 and still talking about a marriage that has happened 2004/2005?
“We have been around for a very long time so stories don’t bother us again. But I can authoritatively tell you that Bimbo Oshin is in my house, any time, any day. Since she has been in my house she has never left.
“She is my wife. And to prove to you, maybe that would put the issue to rest, I will call her now for you to talk to her. (He called his wife, Bimbo Oshin, and put the phone on speaker).
“Dudu Heritage asked his wife if they are still together, Bimbo Oshin responded from the other end, assuring her husband that their marriage is still intact. “I’m in my husband’s house and I have never left,” she said with laugher.
The late Dudu Heritage was from Osun State and hailed from Ijesha. He had his early life in Nigeria, his university life was between London and U.S.A before he came back to Nigeria.
Before his demise, he was planning to host all the past and present captains of Golf clubs in Nigeria at the maiden edition of Captain Golf Invitational Competition which scheduled for September 18 at Ibadan Golf club, Oyo State.
