Top Nigerian-Ghanaian socialite, Saratu Atta, has traversed isolated in wedlock’s plot of a thousand desolate acres. No thanks to heartbreak inflicted on her by ex-husband and Nigeria’s former aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode. But as you read, Saratu has risen from the depths of her misery to live life in full blast. As gay Chrysanthemum leaves sway merrily to the music of the wind, she is living life with supreme confidence borne of a self-assurance that fate has finally accorded her a comforting glance and good things have come her way. Some days ago, the ex-wife of Femi Fani-Kayode was appointed as personal assistant to Ghana’s new president, Nana Akufo-Addo.
The surprise announcement has since generated excited conversations across the two countries. The 53-year- old Saratu Atta is the daughter of a former governor of old Kwara State, Alhaji Adamu Atta and a Ghanaian mother. She was briefly married to Femi Fani-Kayode. The two got married in 1987 and had a daughter the same year before their divorce in 1993.
