Bukola, Toyin Saraki’s Enviable Romance
That Senator Bukola Saraki is one of the most influential and powerful politicians in Nigeria today is stating the obvious.
Or how else does one describe Saraki who single-handedly installed the incumbent Governor o Kwara state, AbdulFatai Ahmed.
When he was quitting the PDP in 2014 alongside other aggrieved party members, many of PDP stalwarts reportedly pretended to be unperturbed.
But Saraki’s influence has since shot up astronomically and he has proven to the doubting Thomases that he is, in fact, a game changer.
The medical doctor-turned-politician has stepped into the big shoes of his late father, Dr. Olusola Saraki, who was the political godfather in the state in his lifetime.
Apart from politics, Saraki is also a great romantic and this, many of his supporters and allies claim, has been the reason for the success of his marriage to his beautiful wife, Toyin, in the past 27 years.
In a society where celebrities’ marriages are always marred by scandals, the Sarakis’ love life has stood the test time. This love story is quite unusual.
When they were getting married 27 years ago in Lagos, many would have sneered at them, and even expressed doubts about the survival of the marriage.
Today, they have been able to shame their critics, as they are still rocking the scene to the surprise of many.
A source confirmed to Society Watch that the Senate president, despite the challenges he is facing on the political scene, has been giving utmost attention to his loving family, while he still creates time to shower his pretty wife with gifts and flowers.
