Abdullahi Yada’u, a resident of Kanam Local Government Area
of Plateau State, has divorced his wife Hafsat Suleiman, for insisting to vote
for President Muhammadu Buhari in next month’s election.
Yada’u told BBC Hausa Service on Thursday that he decided to
divorce Hafsat because she insisted on voting for Buhari.
He said both of them supported Buhari in the 2015 elections
but this time, he felt disappointed with the administration and decided not to
vote for him again.
“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,” Yada’u said.
“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.”
Ibrahim Suleiman, the wife’s elder brother, said: “We
decided to deal with him (Yada’u) but our father stopped us from joining issues
with him.
“He really disgraced us. They have been having issues even
in the previous election.
“She is the one that convinced him to vote for Buhari, now
he insisted on voting for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. We decided that we will not
allow her to go back to him again.”
