In a union that has sent ripples through Nigeria’s sociopolitical and celebrity circles, former Minister of Aviation and controversial political heavyweight, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode (FFK), has tied the knot for the sixth time, saying “I do” to 29-year-old Adaugo, a fashion designer from Abia State.
Truth Live News gathered that the quiet but elegant ceremony, held in a private Abuja estate over the weekend, marks another chapter in the colourful and complex love life of one of Nigeria’s most enigmatic political voices. Friends of the bride describe her as a devout Pentecostal Christian, a graduate of one of Nigeria’s top private universities, and someone who is “kind, gentle and deeply respectful,” preferring to avoid the limelight.
FFK, 64, is said to be “head over heels” in love and ready to give his all “this time around.” Sources close to him say he believes Adaugo’s calm disposition and spiritual depth are exactly what his heart and home need.
Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, affectionately known as FFK, is no stranger to both the corridors of power and the front pages of tabloids. A senior advocate of fiery rhetoric, he has served Nigeria in various high-profile roles including as Special Assistant on Public Affairs to President Olusegun Obasanjo and later as Minister of Culture and Tourism, and Minister of Aviation under President Obasanjo’s administration.
FFK has been a major player in Nigeria’s volatile political landscape, crossing party lines and making bold pronouncements with characteristic flair. His voice is one of Nigeria’s most polarizing, equally revered and reviled, whether on national security, politics, or matters of the heart.
But beyond his headline-grabbing statements and political peregrinations lies a man with an unquenchable hunger for love and companionship. His romantic history reads like a dramatic novel, marked by passion, public spats, reconciliation attempts, and deeply personal battles.
The Wives of FFK – A Timeline of Marriages
. Saratu Attah (1987–1990): His first marriage, brief but foundational.
Yemisi Adeniji (now Yemisi Wada) (1991–1995): A union that would later produce headlines of its own.
Regina Amonoo (1997–2002): His Ghanaian connection.
Precious Chikwendu (2014–2020): The most dramatic and publicly contested of his marriages, marked by custody battles and social media storms.
. Nerita Ezenwa (2021–2024): A beauty queen whose brief reign in FFK’s life ended quietly.
Adaugo (2025): A fresh chapter, and according to FFK, “the one that was worth waiting for.”
The union has sparked debate across the country. Critics say the former minister is repeating a familiar cycle, while supporters believe his search for lasting love is a deeply human journey. “Everyone deserves to be loved, even six times,” quipped one user on social media.
For FFK, who has weathered political storms, courtroom battles, and public scrutiny, this new marriage may represent a softening of edges, a return to peace and companionship in his later years.
As the congratulatory messages pour in from political allies, religious leaders, and well-wishers, the nation watches with cautious optimism, wondering if this sixth marriage might finally be the one that endures.
But one thing is certain: whether in matters of state or the matters of the heart, Femi Fani-Kayode has never played it small.
Congratulations to the new couple. May this union be the calm after many storms.
