Turai Yar’Adua resurfaces



By virtue of her marriage to former President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, who was Nigeria’s 13th leader, Turai Yar’Adua, was Nigeria’s former First Lady. Glamorous in a subtle way, Turai, as she is fondly addressed, enjoyed the love and admiration of many. Not a few persons sought her friendship but all of these came to an abrupt end when her husband passed away in May 2010.

Shuttling between the nation’s capital, Abuja, and Katsina, she rarely visited Lagos. Aside from that, she hardly attended parties hosted by her ilk, therefore making her less visible. It was therefore a surprise when more than five years after Yar’Adua’s demise, she made a sharp detour from the usual by turning up at a former Governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola’s daughter’s wedding which held in Lagos last weekend.

Looking robust, the former First Lady was attired in colourful attire that depicted the mood of the occasion. All smiles, her table became a Mecca as not a few dignitaries went to exchange pleasantries with her.
