Bashir El-Rufai has revealed that his marriage to his first wife, Halima Nwakaego Kazaure, has officially ended, preparing to remarry
Bashir, who is the son of former Kaduna State governor Nasir el-Rufai, made the disclosure during conversations with followers on X after users questioned him over comments he made about another woman on the platform.
The former couple got married in November 2020 in Abuja through a traditional wedding ceremony.
While responding to reactions online, Bashir confirmed he is divorced and disclosed that he is already preparing for another marriage.
According to him, differences in age and behaviour contributed to the collapse of his previous union, adding that he now prefers a more traditional relationship dynamic.
He also revealed that the woman he plans to marry next is a Nupe woman from Bida in Niger State, praising Nupe women for how they treat their husbands.
“Yes, she’s from Bida, and yes, I divorced my first wife. The difference is clear, I had no clue Nupe women treat their husbands like emperors. Loving it,” he wrote.
Bashir further shared personal details about his past relationships, claiming he has never been the one to make the first move when it comes to dating or marriage proposals.
“I don’t toast, babes. Never have. It’s not even about bragging rights or pride. Neither have I ever used money in exchange for companionship,” he said.
He also stated that his former wife was the one who proposed marriage to him.
“Sometimes it’s even years later that I discover one babe or another liked me. I can’t tell. They make the first move. I also never asked a girl to marry me. Even my 1st she was the one who proposed.”
Bashir concluded by expressing excitement about the future, adding that he hopes to welcome a baby girl before the end of the year.
