After 13 weeks of voting, Mrs. Gladys Asuquo, mother of award winning singer-song writer-producer, Cobhams, has won the 2012 edition of Supermom celebrity show.
The former clerical officer in the Nigerian Army clinched the winning prize of N2m after earning the highest votes by fans and followers of the ten finalists.
According to the executive producer of the show, Sola Fajobi, she is expected to donate her cash prize to a charity of her choice and would be treated to an all-expense paid trip to Dubai.
Fuji music star, Abass Akande Obesere’s mother, Taibat Omobonike, emerged first runner up while Banky W’s Empire Mates Entertainment rapper, Skales’ mother, is second runner up.
They both get N1m and N500,000 cash respectively, which would also be donated to a charity of choice and an all-expense paid trip to Dubai. Other runners up are Julius Agwu and Tony Tetuila’s mothers.
Speaking on how Mrs. Asuquo’s story was adjudged the best of the ten, Fajobi says, “Our viewers were moved to tears by the story of how a Cobham turned his disability to a success story.”
On how she managed to raise him despite the inherent challenges, Mrs. Asuquo notes, “It wasn’t easy watching Cobhams do chores around the house and run errands like my other children but I resolved to make him as independent and capable of achieving anything he sets his mind to do. I showed him where his box of clothes was and would ask him to go get his clothes after bathing.”
