Senator Kabir Marafa has teased Senate President, Bukola Saraki, with the idea of having another wife.
The senator representing Zamfara Central made the offer during plenary on Thursday as he appreciated his colleagues for approving a N10 billion intervention fund to address insecurity in Zamfara.
The state has been besieged in recent times by killings and kidnappings.
Marafa told the lawmakers: “I have a mounting order from my constituents to thank you for the efforts we all collectively put in addressing the plight of the people of Zamfara state.”
Then he turned to Saraki and said: “Mr President, I want to thank you specifically. A lady in my constituency said I should tell you specifically that she has never seen you hit the gavel the way you did yesterday and I should tell you that when you commence your sabbatical, that she has offered herself to marry you if you so wish.
“I told her to wait until we see facts and figures in the 2019 budget. With respect and apology to Madam at home but from where I come, you are allowed up to four wives. So madam should please keep space because anytime I sit at home and look at the size of the house, I feel it is grossly underutilised.”
Marafa also thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for intervening in the security challenges in Zamfara.
