Central to his defence was a simple but pointed question: who has the right to dictate how a 50-year-old woman lives her life?
The activist revealed that Ada has six children and a grandchild, and that she had previously endured a difficult marriage before entering her current relationship.
In his words:
"How you wan tell 50-year-old woman how to live her life? At that age, she don already live enough life to know herself. As a father, I fit advise. I fit talk my mind. But I no get remote control for another adult's life. She gave me 5 grandchildren and a great-grandson and for that and many other reasons, she will always be my daughter. She was in a marriage where she see pepper. Na after she commot dia she jumped into dis one. I no fit choose her happiness for her. My own father couldn't stop me from becoming Charlyboy the man I wanted to become. So who am I to stand in front of my daughter and try to control the life she has chosen for herself? Everybody deserve the freedom to pursue their own happiness. I wish her happiness. I wish everybody happiness. At the end of the day, na love remain. Make everybody live their truth and find their own happiness."
