One Mr. Abdullahi Yada’u has divorced his wife after she consistently insisted beyond any reasonable doubt in casting her vote in favour of President Muhammadu Buhari in the forthcoming presidential elections.
Mr Yada’u, who resides in Plateau State, told the BBC Hausa Service on Thursday that he had to divorce his wife, Hafsat Suleiman, because she wouldn’t change her mind on voting for Mr Buhari.
Mr Yada’u, however said that the duo had previously gone in favour of Mr Buhari during the 2015 elections, but this time, he was highly disappointed with the administration and present state of conditions and so would not be casting his vote in favour of the present administration but rather for the opposition candidate.
“I told her that she must not vote for him but she insisted which led to a quarrel which attracted the attention of our neighbours, I slapped her and told her to choose between voting for Buhari and staying with me. She ran away.
“Later her parents called me and I narrated to them what transpired between us. But still my wife insisted on voting for Mr Buhari, that’s how I divorced her in the presence of her parents.”
