“Now I know what Love is,” said Virgil, a Roman poet in the Throes of
Love. Tambuwal is feeling just the same. There is joy and misery in the
home of Aminu Tambuwal. Although the Executive Governor of Sokoto state
is ecstatic over his newfound love, Maryam Mairo Mustapha, his first
wife, Mariya Tambuwal is heartbroken and unhappy with his decision to
take her as a second wife. Mariya, like most women, is miserable over
her husband’s decision to marry Mairo as his trophy wife.
Happiness is not an ideal of reason but of imagination, many a
philosopher would tirelessly contend, but to Mairo, happiness is Aminu.
Further findings revealed that Governor Tambuwal decided to marry
Mairo, an IT expert, because he needed a woman that’s ravishing and
active to serve as his first lady. It would be recalled that Governor
Tambuwal was hardly seen in company of his first wife even while he
served as a member and Speaker of the House of Representatives. While
his colleagues attended social functions, with their wives, Tambuwal
arrived alone at such events.
But as executive governor of Sokoto, Tambuwal needs a very active first
lady. But unlike his colleague, Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State,
who travelled abroad to get himself a wife, Tambuwal decided to go for
one of his girls. Already, the lovers are in Saudi Arabia to perform
Lesser Hajj. They are expected to be back in the coming week. The
wedding invitations sent out by the couple to close friends and
associates indicate that the wedding proper comes up between February 19
and 21, in Kano, Abuja and Sokoto. Tambuwal and his new wife met a few
years ago, during the period he served as Speaker of the House of
Representatives.
