The political bulldozer of Kogi State, the Prince of the Niger, Megwa Adoja, the Lion of the Middlebelt, His Excellency, Prince Abubakar Audu seems to have employed his estwhile Commissioner for Commerce, Hajia Halima Alfa as ‘acting wife’ as he prosecute his governorship campaign for a record seventh attempt.
Since Audu declared his intention to contest for Kogi governorship for the 7th time, he has been in the public domain attending different political and social events with his team but his wife has been conspicuously absent. While this can be excused, one cannot but notice that there’s another woman going around with him side-by-side. This woman is no other than our dear Hajia Halima Alfa. She goes around with Audu like his handbag and so far both are looking so compatible! One cannot but ask if Halima Alfa is ‘acting wife’.
In his first attempt in 1992, Audu succeeded and had Hajia Habiba Audu as his wife. Habiba, now late, was the second wife after Lani Abubakar. Audu’s second attempt was equally successful and he occupied the Lugard House with the Late Habiba who was later ‘snookered’ by the third wife, Aisha Audu-Emeje. Audu’s 3rd attempt in 2003, 4th and 5th attempts in 2007 and later 6th attempt in 2011 were unfortunately unsuccessful. Within this period of electoral misfortune, his marriage to the 3rd wife, Aisha, collapsed.
Some months ago, local and international media were agog with stories and pictures of Audu’s new female acquisition, an outrageously beautiful young blood who many assume is under-aged. Simply identified as Olivia and alleged to be an undergraduate at the University of Jos, the new acquisition is a Tiv from Benue.
Abubakar Audu and New Wife
The whole world know who Audu’s wife is but she has been curiously missing from Audu’s side since her darling husband began the current electioneering process leaving her role for Hajia Halima to play.
