Of Femi Fani-Kayode and Retinue of Women

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, appears to relish media attention. Whether it’s for his political views or his romantic escapades, he often finds a way into the spotlight.

Though acting may not yet be part of his intimidating résumé, the former minister has a knack for injecting comic relief into some of the country’s most tense moments. He is never in short supply of theatrical flair.

At a time when the average Nigerian is grappling with a biting economy, the Osun State-born smooth-talking politician hit the streets with the news of his picking a new love, a native of Abia State

According to reports, the bride, identified as Adaugo, is a 29-year-old interior designer, devout Pentecostal Christian and graduate of a top private university in Nigeria.

Many will recall that Fani-Kayode recently had a showdown with one of his wives, Precious Chikwendu, a former beauty queen and the mother of his four sons. They married in 2014 and divorced in 2020.

Reports suggest the relationship between them has remained cordial, with Precious having unrestricted access to their children.

Fani-Kayode, who is seen in many quarters as a handsome dude and ‘playboy’, has been romantically linked with several women in the past, most of whom would make a full-blooded man drool.

His previous unions include his first wife, Saratu “Baby” Atta, whom he married in 1987 and divorced three years later- the union was blessed with one child, Oluwafolake.

He married his second wife, Yemisi Adeniji, in 1991. They had two girls together before the marriage crashed in 1995. Yemisi, who is also a niece to a former Minister of Trade, Olusegun Aganga, left him for Kano State-born Dahiru Wada, son of the late Inua Wada.

Fani-Kayode, also a former Special Adviser to former Olusegun Obasanjo, once married a Ghanaian, Regina Hanson Amonoo, a businesswoman and pastor, who lives in Ghana- they have a daughter together.
