Nigeria’s former Aviation Minister and outspoken political heavyweight, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has once again made headlines—this time for matters of the heart. The seasoned politician recently married his third wife, a striking young entrepreneur named Adaugo, in a traditional ceremony that, although intimate, turned heads within his close circle.
Adaugo, 29, hails from Abia State and is the founder of a flourishing interior design business. Friends describe her as a devout Pentecostal Christian, graceful, gentle, and someone who deliberately avoids the public eye despite her impressive background as a graduate of one of Nigeria’s top private universities.
The union adds a new chapter to Fani-Kayode’s complex yet harmonious family life. His first wife, Regina—a former Ghanaian beauty queen—resides in Accra, where she runs successful businesses and is deeply involved in Christian ministry. Known for her strong evangelical faith, Regina is said to have significant influence over the former minister; insiders reveal that Fani-Kayode rarely makes major decisions without consulting her. Together, they share a daughter and continue to nurture a relationship built on spiritual connection and mutual respect, undeterred by distance.
His second wife, Precious Chikwendu, also a former beauty queen, shares four sons with Fani-Kayode. Although officially divorced, their relationship has evolved into a rare friendship marked by cordiality and openness. Precious reportedly enjoys unrestricted access to their children and remains a welcomed presence within his inner circle.
The inclusion of Adaugo has been met with positivity among the Fani-Kayode family. Those close to the politician say he has taken thoughtful steps to foster peace and unity among his wives—past and present—demonstrating a level of emotional maturity that has quietly earned him admiration.
In a world where high-profile relationships often end in controversy, Fani-Kayode’s approach to love, family, and co-parenting stands out as an intriguing mix of tradition, respect, and modern understanding.
