Folorunsho Coker’s Second Marriage Bites The Dust
The Director-General of the Nigerian Tourism Development Company, Folorunsho Coker, is back in the singles’ club. Just when everyone thought his second marriage to Aisha Rimi, a member of Rimi Partners, an Abuja -based law firm specialising in corporate legal services, business advisory services and government relations, would outlast his first, it ended up making a dry run while it lasted.
Folorunsho was first married to Folake Akindele-Coker, the boss of foremost fashion design label, Tiffany Amber. Folly Coker as he is fondly called, ended the marriage, which produced three children, abruptly. Still dazed by the manner with which her marriage ended, Folake retained her ex-husband’s name and still does to this day. While she is still single and is currently in a relationship with a serving governor of a South-West state, Folly moved on quickly and jumped into another marriage with
Aisha. Aisha also used to be married to Lateef Bello Osagie, a sibling of Hakeem Bello Osagie, a former Chairman of United Bank of Africa. No sooner had her marriage to Lateef ended than she hooked up with
Folly and married him. They resolved to give their second attempt at marriage their best shot and make their new ‘partnership’ work. But that wasn’t to be as findings reveal that Folly’s manabout-town nature allegedly contributed greatly to the demise of the marriage. In fact, early in the marriage, Folly and his wife managed to keep the union together, but seeing that they could no longer continue to patch things up, they both finally decided they had had enough of each other. Pundits are however of the opinion that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission investigation of Aisha’s involvement in the diversion of the sum of N3 billion from the account of Lagos State Government Number Plate Production Authority, when Folly was the managing director, was allegedly the beginning of the end of their marriage.
