Gumsu Abacha, the second daughter of former military head of state, late General Sani Abacha, has ended her two-year-old marriage to Yobe State governor, Mai Mala Buni
Gumsu herself revealed that she has moved out of her marriage with Buni who she married as his 4th wife in March 2021.
The 50-year-old was previously married to Cameroonian multi-billionaire, Bayero Fadil Mohamadou. They separated in 2019 after almost 20 years of marriage that produced five children.
Many where shocked when news broke that Gumsu and Fadil had parted ways due to irreconcilable differences. And this because they were both smitten with each other.
Though the December 2019 divorce was not public, but the cat was let out of the bag when Gumsu changed her name on social media and Bayero also edited his Wikipedia profile.
Though the divorce was painful, they are not bitter enemies. In fact, the Abacha family reportedly broke the news of Gumsu’s new marriage to Buni directly to Bayero by sending him a video of the wedding ceremony.
Gumsu made the shocking revelation that she is divorced from the governor while replying to a follower who called her ‘First Lady’ on her X handle, formerly Twitter.
She had shared a beautiful photo of herself with her left fingers free and captioned it “Emancipation…Liberation.”
In the comment section, a user referred to her as the first lady of Yobe state, but Gumsu said she was not married.
“I am not married”, she replied.
There had been rumours that the troubled marriage ended some months ago. They made sure to carefully conceal it from the public just as their union which happened two years after she left her Cameroonian husband.
They got married when Buni was still the All Progressives Congress, APC, Caretaker National Chairman.
The wedding Fatiha was simple. It was an Islamic affair that was attended by friends of both families. Their particular wedding can be described as the quietest event in the Abacha Household in recent memory.
