Photos of Atiku Abubakar Moroccan wife

Atiku Abubakar pictured with his Moroccan wife

Nigeria former vice president and the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (2023 general elections) Atiku Abubakar, has been pictured with his fourth wife, who is a Moroccan.

Abubakar first introduced his new wife to the family in 2017, sources claimed. He married the Morrocan that year and in 2018 they welcomed their first son together.

Before now, their relationship has been kept secret even as Mr. Abubakar sought presidency as the major contender against President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019. “He saw the relationship as a personal matter,” a family source told the Gazette over the weekend.

Atiku Abubakar, 74, has for years has been vocal about his quest to manage the affairs of Nigeria’s governance systems. He first sought presidency in early and mid-1990s before being tapped as vice-president by Olusegun Obasanjo in 1999, leaving office in 2007 after two terms.

The Gazette reports that Mr. Abubakar’s other wives have been more accepting of the Moroccan new wife than Mrs. Douglas-Abubakar, whom sources said was considered to be the worst hit by the development.

She saw it as a let down because of the special level of care she had been receiving from the former vice-president,” a family source said. “She just felt the Moroccan woman had arrived to take her place.”
