reports that the couple shared the news on Sunday through a gender-reveal video posted on their respective Instagram pages.

The video captured the couple at an elegant outdoor venue decorated with a white-themed stage, large “BABY” letter displays, balloons and soft lighting, surrounded by greenery.

Dressed in matching white outfits, Peller and his visibly pregnant wife stood together as blue smoke and confetti burst into the air, confirming that they were expecting a boy. Guests at the event cheered and celebrated the announcement.

In the caption accompanying the video, the couple expressed gratitude to God for the pregnancy and described the gender reveal as a special moment in their lives.

They wrote, “For so long, we prayed, hoped and dreamed of this beautiful moment. Today, our hearts are filled with a kind of happiness words can never fully explain. God has blessed us with a precious gift, and we can’t wait to hold you in our arms, kiss your little face and show you how much you are loved.

“My child, you may not know it yet, but you are already the reason behind so many smiles, tears of joy and endless prayers. Daddy and Mummy can’t wait to begin this beautiful journey with you.

“Our little blessing, our answered prayer, our greatest joy. We love you already.

“Thank You, Lord, for this precious gift.”

The government also clarified that billboard advertising in the state is handled by private operators, noting that some premium advertising spaces reportedly cost about ₦10 million per month.

reports that the clarification was contained in a statement issued on Sunday by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, following allegations circulating on social media that the purported increase was preventing some political parties from advertising across the state.

The government explained that although the Lagos State Signage and Advertisement Agency (LASAA) regulates outdoor advertising, it does not own billboard structures or determine the commercial rates charged by private operators.

“The government of Lagos State wishes to debunk the claim that it has raised billboard permit fee to N700m.

“Billboards are owned by private operators. The most expensive billboard is about N10million monthly. The government does not run billboards,” the statement read.

The controversy followed comments by Abdulkarim during an interview on Nigeria Info FM 99.3 on November 13, 2026. He alleged that the cost of obtaining political billboard licences in Lagos was making it difficult for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) to advertise its activities.

Abdulkarim claimed that the party had resorted to alternative methods of promoting its political message because of the alleged high cost of outdoor advertising.

“Lagos is charging almost N700 million just for a licence to erect a political billboard.

“We now decided, let us be our own billboard,” he alleged.

However, the state government maintained that political parties and candidates are free to advertise across Lagos, provided they comply with the relevant regulations.

It explained that campaign materials must be displayed on approved advertising structures operated by registered practitioners with valid LASAA permits.

According to the government, the structures must also meet established requirements concerning their locations, safety and environmental standards.

“LASAA does not determine the rates charged by billboard owners,” the statement added.
