SGF Akume marries Ooni’s ex-wife, Queen Zaynab Otiti Obanor
Queen Zaynab Otiti Obanor, ex-wife of Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II, the Ooni of Ife, has taken another shot at marriage.
This time, she got married to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume.
Akume’s spokesman, Yomi Odunuga, confirmed the development to QED NG.
“I can confirm the marriage. However, contrary to the rumour that the marriage was concretised in Gboko on Christmas Eve when the couple appeared together at an event to celebrate Christmas, it was actually a marriage that is over a year old,” Mr Odunuga said.
Abraham Double-d Dajoh shared the news on Facebook on Friday.
“We, the entire Dajoh family, happily join our daddy, uncle, and brother, His Excellency, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Sen. George Akume Jugu Dajoh, in welcoming his new and uncommon wife, Queen Zaynab Ngohemba-George Akume Dajoh, into the Dajoh family.
“We appreciate and thank the fans and supporters of Sen. Akume for always standing by him. We enjoin every one of you to continue to support his Excellency even in this beautiful union with Queen Zaynab. We wish you all a happy Christmas celebration and a prosperous New Year,” the post read as the family welcomed the queen.
Queen Zaynab Otiti was previously married to Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi on March 12, 2016; however, the marriage ended in 2017.
Edo-born Queen Zaynab was at various times married to men of means and power, namely Saminu Turaki, former governor of Jigawa; to the Ooni of Ife; to an Arab billionaire she met while living in Qatar; and now to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume.
