The Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Muhammed has been
married to his wife Alhaja Kudirat Adeoti Muhammed for 35 years.
Their
marriage is blessed with 4 successful children and several
grandchildren. Not many know how the former spokesperson of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) met his adorable wife.
Revealing how he met
his wife in an interview sometime back, Lai Muhammed said: “ We actually
met during preparation towards FESTAC 77. I was doing my Youth Service
with the organisers of FESTAC 77 and we needed some School certificate
holders as protocol officers to work temporarily with us.
“She
was among those selected and from there we started our relationship. For
me, it was love at first sight. I liked her immediately I set my eyes
on her. We got married in 1979. We met in 1976, started working together
in 1977 and we got married in 1979 after about three years of
courtship.”Describing his wife, the Information Minister further said:
“My wife has been very supportive; we have gone through a lot together.
We have climbed to the top together and also crashed together. I don’t
think I can marry any other person in my life. Infact I would gladly
marry my wife all over again.”
