Ex-Lawmaker Marries Two Friends As 3rd & 4th Wives In Lagos

Hon. Abdullateef Abdulkareem, a former member of Lagos House
of Assembly and a former Special Adviser to Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola on
Political and Legislative Powers, must be a devout Muslim, who believes in
fulfilling all the tenets of the religion to its letters.

Hon. Abdulkareem, who is a lawyer and the Chief Imam of the
Lagos House of Assembly since 2003, married his third wife on Wednesday, July
9, 2014 and he is planning to marry the fourth on Tuesday, October 28, 2014.

Ironically, his third and fourth wives are friends. His
third wife, Hadizat, is a 23 year-old corper doing her primary assignment with
Lagos House of Assembly. She graduated from Crescent University, Abeokuta, Ogun
State.

Encomium Weekly gathered that it was Hadizat who pleaded
with her husband, Hon. Abdulkareem to marry her and her friend, Rekihat
together so that she will have a mate to play with.

She argued that the two senior wives are too old for her to
play with and would be difficult for her to relate with and therefore, pleaded
with him to marry her friend.

The man agreed with her and decided to marry the two
friends.

Hadizat’s marriage came up on Wednesday, July 9, 2014,
somewhere in Gbagada, Lagos. One of those in attendance during the Nikkai
ceremony was Mr. Charles Oputa a.k.a Charly Boy.

She (Hadizat) had earlier fixed her marriage for November
2014 because that is when her parents who reside in Lokoja, Kogi State would
have the opportunity and time to attend. But when she got the information that
her friend, Rekihat has fixed hers for August, 2014, which will make her
Rekihat her senior in their household, she decided to bring her parents quickly
to do her own Nikkai in July.

Now that her own Nikkai has been performed, she is said to
be happy that she is going to be her friend’s senior.

When we called Hon. Abdullateef Abdulkareem, he confirmed
the marriage to us. He was the one who corrected us that the fourth marriage
will be on October 28, 2014 and not August that we heard it will take place.
