Man Whose Wife Turned A Man Give His Story

Most husbands would be shocked and lost for words if their wife wanted to become a man. But for Graham Hopwood it came as no great surprise and now he’s happy that at the age of 48 the love of his life finally has the body she had always craved.

In the past year Catherine went under the knife to become a man called Cathan. And although they no longer have s*x, the couple say their 12-year marriage is stronger than ever.

Graham, 68, from Bradford, says: “Inside Cathan is still the same person I met and fell for. I always knew that Catherine wasn’t happy with her body so when she opened up to me about wanting to be a man I wasn’t all that surprised. I wanted to help her to be happier in herself. The only confusion we have these days is knowing what to call him. I can’t say wife any more so I usually say partner.”

So yesterday, APC’s Vice-Presidential candidate tweeted a photo showing a tremendous huge crowd claiming it was the crowd that turned out for APC’s presidential rally in Kano, but the opposition party and observing Nigerians were quick to remind him the picture was taken at one of Reinhard Bonke's crusades.

Some Nigerians even felt embarrassed that the professor can join in the lies.

He however took some with his phone and re-posted them, to still prove Kano people love APC and they all turned out for the rally. He even tweeted some at Obanikoro who also doubted the photo.
