Lawyer Emeka Ugwuonye (May Edochie’s ex-lawyer) has shared rarely-heard information about former President Goodluck Jonathan’s family structure.
The legal practitioner claimed that Jonathan has a 2nd wife who was kept away from public scrutiny under an understanding with his well-known spouse, Dame Patience Jonathan.
According to Ugwuonye, Jonathan’s 2nd wife, identified as Ayima, was part of a private agreement with Patience, allegedly because the former First Lady could not conceive.
He stated that Ayima, a younger sister to former Petroleum Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke, was introduced into the marriage arrangement solely to bear children for the ex-President.
To maintain the former First Lady’s public image and role, Ayima was kept away from the limelight. The family reportedly agreed she would not appear at official functions or media engagements.
