Indication emerged that late Prince Abubakar Audu and one of his wives, Aisha Abubakar, who was Kogi State first lady during the deceased’s second tenure as the state governor made up after their messy breakup.
In 2010, Prince Audu had accused Mrs. Aisha Audu, who was Kogi State first lady between 1999-2003 of witchcraft and plotting to kill him while the mother-of-three; Abubakar Audu Jr, Shazali and Ramatu(all pictured) claimed the deceased assaulted her on several occasions, and dragged him before a court in the US.
A severe marital crisis, it got to a point that Late Audu doubted if he fathered the children Aisha bore him, and requested a court-ordered paternity test.
However, Aisha’s presence at the ex-governor’s burial, and the glowing tribute she paid to the deceased, in an interview she granted newsmen indicated that they had long resolved their issues.
She said: “I am his wife with three children two boys and a girl. I remain proud of him. This was a man who left in his own style as far as the situation is to the world. This was a man who kept winning. Everybody kept praising him; everybody kept glorifying him until he left the world. He kept on winning until he departed. He left in his own style, very loud and wonderful. He was a great man. He represented all of us. He is still shining. He was a lucky man, a true son of God. Unfortunately, I was not with him when he died.”
Recalling her last moment with the late politician, she said, “After the primaries, I was with him and his son, Junior and his lovely new wife. Then we were celebrating Sallah. And we promised to return in December. My son, 15, is still waiting to see him. My happiest moment with him was when I gave birth to his son. He loved to have male children and God blessed him with them. I will follow him and all his steps by becoming a member of the APC. My foundation, the Aisha Audu Foundation will continue to honour him by following in his footsteps. That is what we will be doing from this day. I will become part of his struggle for the liberation of Kogi State.”
