Governor Mala Buni of Yobe State
has taken a third wife barely 24hours after his swearing in.
The Governor tied the knot on
Thursday with the daughter of his immediate past predecessor, Ibrahim Gaidam.
Buni’s new wife is Ummi Adama
Gaidam.
Ummi Adama, who takes the
position of Governor’s third wife is currently studying in Saudi Arabia.
Ummi’s marriage to Buni could be
to strengthen their political relationship.
Aljazirah reports that there are
strong rumours indicating that the new bride will be made the first lady of the
State governor.
The low key marriage was
solemnized at Mr Gaidam’s residence at Sabon Fegi area Damaturu, the state
capital, in the early hours of Thursday.
Aljazira quoted an ally of the
Governor, who preferred not to be mentioned, as saying that the marriage was
performed secretly to avoid public criticism.
An Islamic scholar, Sheik
Abubakar Adam who is also close to the two governors (Gaidam and Mai mala), gave
the hand of Fatima Ibrahim Gaidam to Mala Buni.
Shiek Adam, who conducted the
wedding called on the couple to fear God in all their dealings in order to have
a good family and live a fulfilling life.
Buni was the immediate-past
National Secretary of the ruling party, All Progressives Congress, APC, and was
anointed by Gaidam to succeeded him as governor.
The new Governor was sworn-in on
Wednesday by the state Chief Judge, Justice Garba Na Baruma.
