• How Vice President, Yemi Osibajo’s brother, married a corper
It is often said that “A man marries to please his parents, a widower to please himself.” Ask Akin Osibajo, he knows. Interestingly, however, the hum of life begins again, soon after the last condolence has been declared for the comfort of the bereaved; women mourn their late husband but men replace their departed wives – The gender gap in late life remarriage, where widowers are more likely than widows to remarry, has been explained by the adage ‘‘women mourn, men replace”.
Years ago, death invaded the world of Prof. Akin Osibajo like a medieval ogre and snatched away Oluwatoyin, the love of his life in her prime. There is no gainsaying the grim reaper created an emotional void in the life of the respected man; in the wake of the tragedy, he felt his world had fallen apart and he almost lost faith in his capacity to fall in love again.
Today, Highlife authoritatively reveals that Prof. Osibajo has rediscovered love in the arms of Moriyike Omololu-Osibajo. Indeed, time and fate has a way of healing even the deepest wounds. This is because the former Ogun State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice has put the death of his first wife, Oluwatoyin behind him. He has found solace in the arms of his darling and sweet-natured wife, Moriyike. The couple allegedly met while Moriyike observed her mandatory one-year National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme at the Ministry of Justice in Ogun State.
The Professor was allegedly swept off his feet by Moriyike’s beautiful personality and one thing led to the other; the rest, as they always say, is now history. The new couple are reportedly head-over-heels in love with each other. And they have sealed their union with beautiful kids.
