Dimeji Bankole’s New Year resolution

Published by

2021 is showing the good signs for politician and former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Honourable Dimeji Bankole, as he sets to fulfil one of his resolutions for the year.

The politician is stepping out of single life as he becomes a pair with Aisha Saidu, who is said to be the daughter of the Governor of Kebbi State, Atiku Bagudu.

Those in the know claimed the relationship had been on for some years but the lovers decided to keep it secret until they found the reasons to take their relationship to a firmer ground.

The official introduction took place a few days ago, while the wedding, defined to be low-key due to covid-19 protocols, happened last week.

The bride is a lawyer and the granddaughter of the late political titan, Alhaji Umaru Shinkafi.
