Former Military President, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, rtd, has announced that he is in search of a new wife.
Describing the kind of woman that will suit him at this stage of his
life, IBB said he will not take a wife much younger than him because
that will be a problem for the woman and for himself (IBB)
Speaking with The Sun, the former Head of State, however, expressed the
fear that the new wife may not be able to live the way he lived with his
late wife and former First Lady, Maryam.
Asaba Delta-born Maryam died on Sunday, December 27, 2009, succumbing to
ovarian cancer at the University of California’s Jonsson Comprehensive
Cancer Center, Los Angeles. She died at the age of 61.
IBB said, “Yes, I am quite sure. I’m searching and I’m hoping. But the longer I wait, maybe, the more problematic it becomes.
“If it drags, I would be too old and the whole idea of having a partner
would seem to diminish. But I will make sure [I have a partner] before
reaching that stage.
“If somebody is in the corner, you could organize that in three or six months.
“And because it must be somebody you have known for a long time, or
somebody you have been in contact with for a long time, you don’t just
tell them look this is for marriage.
“But as time passes, and relationship building continues, it could end up in marriage.
“However, I have to be fair in my search. I really want to be fair. For
instance, you don’t expect me to take a wife much younger than I am
because that will be a problem for her and for me.
“I have to be fair. Secondly, I do wonder if she (the chosen one) would
be able to live the way Maryam and I did, which is not easy these days.
So, I keep on praying; and I think it will happen.”
