The clip, which has already garnered over 451,000 views and 11,300 likes, comes amid the ongoing backlash following Aboy’s wedding on Sunday, March 29, 2026.
Mother of autistic child speaks on marriage
In the video, the woman insisted that the young man needed proper caregiving and acceptance rather than a wife.
In her words:
“Getting a wife for an autistic child because of reasons is not a solution. Looking for a wife, coming online to look for a wife for an autistic child, it’s not love, it’s not compassion.”
She also explained that mothers like her, with autistic children, are not seeking marriage for their sons but genuine carers. She further warned that any woman entering Aboy's life would be driven by selfish motives and interests.

She added:
“Anyone that will come in this child’s life is coming for selfish interests. Mark my words. There will be no love attached to it. They are coming because of the extra benefits that they have heard. They will not love this child.”
She questioned how the new wife would cope with the full realities of autism.
“How will this so-called wife manage the other bad behaviours attached to autism? Autism has a lot attached to it. It is not just what you see physically.”
The concerned mother kept on stressing that marriage is never the answer for Apostle Chibuzor's son.
During a brief interview with Legit.ng, medical expert, Dr Ojuko Kehinde, weighed in on Apostle Chibuzor's autistic son's marriage. According to him, the man of God should not have given the young lad up for marriage but should have sought help with well-managed therapy.
He said:
"That was a very wrong move. What they ought to do is to seek medical help and thorough therapy."
He added:
"That's a step at least to know which spectrum of autism he is and how to manage such condition even though it can't be cured but it can be well managed."
When asked about the outcome and end result of their marriage, he said:
"There won't be a significant outcome if the root cause of the autism is not addressed, that is, to know the spectrum he is on. Physical/emotional/sexual abuse cause the guy's judgment is impaired which can also worsen the autism."
