The dust is yet to settle on his very controversial tenure as the immediate past Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, but that is the least of Abubakar Malami’s concerns. He seems to be more focused on expanding his harem. Two months after leaving office, he has taken another wife, the third to be exact.
The new bride, Hajiya Rakiya Bashir, was a widow. The low-key wedding ceremony between the couple reportedly took place on Sunday, July 16.
It would be recalled that about one year ago, Malami formally professed love and married Nana-Hadiza, a divorcee and former President Muhammadu Buhari’s third daughter with his first wife, Safinatu. THEWILL had speculated that the marriage was nothing but a means to consolidate power and shield him from possible prosecution.
With his father-in-law out of power and a new Sheriff in town, Malami obviously sees no reason to remain totally committed to the ’cause’ and thus decided to feed his insatiable desire to acquire as many wives as he possibly can.
