Hauwa, the beautiful widow of former Taraba governor, Danbaba Suntai, is set to remarry.
Her late husband died on June 28, 2017 in Houston, Florida, in the United States.
Mr. Suntai, 56, suffered injuries while piloting a small plane when he crashed near Yola Airport in Adamawa State.
After a brief stay at the National Hospital, Abuja, the injured governor was flown to a hospital in Germany.
He was later transferred to Johns Hopkins Hospital in the State of Maryland, the United States. After spending a few months there, he was admitted at a rehabilitation centre for trauma patients in Staten Island, New York.
He was flown back to Nigeria on August 25, 2013 after 10 months of medical treatment overseas following claims by his supporters that he was fit to govern.
But in all these battles, Hauwa remained solidly by his side.
Following the controversial return of her husband, she was at the centre of unfolding drama in the theatrics of Taraba politics where she was euphemistically referred to Turai Yar’adua.
She later declared her husband as medically and mentally unfit to govern.
Before the ill-fated air crash involving her husband near Yola on October 25, 2012, 48-year-old Hauwa was the proverbial woman behind Suntai’s political success story. A Muslim from Borno State, married to a Christian from Taraba State, she was undoubtedly an influence towards her husband’s electoral victory.
The 1996 graduate of Botany with a Bachelor of Technology from the Federal University of Technology, Yola, was then trapped in a political crisis that dovetailed her husband’s accident.
Hauwa, in February 2017 before her husband’s death, celebrated Valentine with him in the United States where he was receiving proper medical attention.
The photos were shared online.
Nothing was heard from her since her husband’s death and burial until Saturday June 8, 2019 when some blogs shared some pre-wedding photos on Instagram where Hauwa and her very young fiancé looked so happy together.
Not a few people have expressed joy at this development.
Wedding date hasn’t been announced.
