These are happy times for Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State. A few days ago, at a private ceremony, he got married to Gumsu Abacha, the late Gen. Sani Abacha’s daughter, making her the fourth wife in his happy Buni household.
As expected, their status as governor and daughter of a former military Head of State did not dim the happy couple’s happiness. Instead, it served to accentuate that the binds of love acknowledge willing hearts and nothing else. This is especially apparent considering the marital history of the new bride.
Besides her identity as Abacha’s daughter, Gumsu married one of Cameroon’s wealthiest men, Bayero Fadil Mohamadou. Thus, Gumsu was thought to be a lucky woman. But the marriage fell through after 20 years, and they went their separate ways in 2020. However, treasure finders do not let treasures go to waste, and Governor Buni is one of such treasure finders.
Thus, at 45 years of age, Gumsu has become the happy wife of Governor Buni, the fourth to come after Ummi Adama Gaidam, daughter of Buni’s predecessor, Adama Ibrahim Gaidam. Ummi got wedded to Buni in 2019, a few hours after the latter took over the Yobe mantle from her father. But this was likely former Governor Gaidam’s idea since he convinced Buni to vie for the governorship seat in the first place (before then, Buni was only the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC)).
Overall, the Buni household is set to rise in status and glory in the coming years. The addition of Abacha’s daughter will beautify the governor’s life further and bring great fortune and excitement to the home.
