Couple divorces after Wife insists on Voting for Buhari

A Plateau State couple has decided to settle for a divorce after the wife insisted on voting for President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 elections.

Premium Times reports that the couple, Abdullahi Yada’u and Hafsat Suleiman, had an argument where the husband insisted his wife must not vote for the president.

Yada’u, who shared his story with the BBC Hausa Service, said he asked his wife to choose between staying with him and voting Buhari.

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.
