Ex-Lagos Lawmaker Picks 2 Friends As 3rd, 4th Wives

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, has married a third wife, and also planning to pick the fourth one later in the year.

Abdulkareem, a lawyer and the Chief Imam of the Lagos House of Assembly since 2003, got married to his third wife, Hadizat, a 23 year-old corper doing her primary assignment with Lagos House of Assembly, on Wednesday, July 9, 2014. Hadizat finished from Crescent University, Abeokuta, Ogun State.

He is planning to marry the fourth wife, Rekihat, a friend to Hadizat, on Tuesday, October 28, 2014.

It was learnt that Hadizat pleaded with her husband to marry her so as to have a playmate. According to her argument, the two senior wives are too old for her to play or relate.

Encomium gatheted that Hadizat’s wedding came up on Wednesday, July 9, 2014, in Gbagada, Lagos, and was attended by 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.

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.

Hon. Abdullateef Abdulkareem was a member of Lagos House of Assembly between 2003 and 2007 representing Oshodi-Isolo Constituency. He was first, the House Committee chairman on Education before he was made the Chairman, House Committee on Judiciary/Human Rights Committee. Between 2007 and 2011, he was Special Adviser to Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola on Political and Legislative Powers.

Though Hon. Abdulkareem is no longer a member of Lagos House of Assembly or member of the executive, he is still a regular face within the secretariat, Alausa, by virtue of the fact that he is the Chief Imam of the Lagos House of Assembly Mosque, where many believed he met his new wife, Hadizat and who herself introduced the fourth wife, Rekihat to him.
