· Late Kogi governor-elect leaves his teen wife in the lurch
Few people would forget how death snuffed out the life of Abubakar Audu at the time his life got sweetest. At the dawn of his electoral victory, the grim reaper harvested the All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial flagbearer from mother earth, as the hurricane uproots dandelions from their shallow depths.
What most people do not know is that, at his demise, the Kogi state gubernatorial hopeful left behind a very cute teenage wife. Late Audu had a very tender and gentle younger wife, Olivia, before he passed on. It is not confirmed if she conceived for him but they both had a smooth union over the years before his demise.
Reports have it that she was already fantasizing about being the youngest First Lady in the history of Kogi state and in Nigeria as a whole. Olivia, an half-caste, hails from the Tiv-part of Benue state, as her mum is from Ugba/Unongo family. She is an undergraduate of the University of Jos. In 2010, late Audu allegedly abandoned his first wife, Aisha, with her three children in the United States (US).
Aisha subsequently filed a paper at the District Court of Maryland Montgomery County where she sought protective order against Prince Audu accusing him of assault. Obviously, Aisha had been prepared for life as a single mother and estranged wife.
Unlike Olivia, for whom reality bites. The poor teenager was definitely not prepared for life as a widow. At her husband’s death, all his friends and family allegedly deserted her. They have all abandoned her to her fate. It’s not really business as usual for the fair skinned lady who felt old wine tasted better.
