BEVERLY HILLS, March 15, (THEWILL) – They are both daughters of the late dictator, General Sani Abacha, with Zainab being the older of the two. Until recently, besides sharing the same parents, they literally shared nothing else in common. But today, they have both been previously married, divorced and are basking in the glow of their second marriages.
Zainab’s first marriage was to her late father’s Minister of Industry, Basheer Dalhatu. It was a bad marriage and she soon ended it. Today, she has remarried to Senator Yakubu Lado DanMarke as his second wife.
Like her older sister, Gumsu, has also had a first taste in marriage but unlike her sister, Zainab, who ended hers too soon, Gumsu was married for about 20 years to Cameroonian multi-billionaire, Bayero Fadil Mohamadou. Hers was supposedly built-on love as she once said that the greatest gift she has ever received from her husband is his love and one she cherishes. One then begins to wonder what must have gone wrong as the marriage crashed about a year ago. It didn’t take too long for Gumsu to find love again as she has since given marriage a second chance with Mai Mala Buni, the Yobe State governor, who also doubles as the chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee. The duo secretly got married late last month at her late father’s house in Kano. While Gumsu had previously said that hitches in marriage cause a man to take up to two, three or four wives, it is instructive to note that she is Buni’s fourth wife but with her ex-husband, she was his only wife.
