Wonders they say shall never end.
The people of Yobe state just woke up to the realisation that government house has more mouths to cater for as their new governor took a wife, a day after he assumed office.
Newdawn sources revealed that the governor took the new wife a day after he took the oath of office as executive governor.
The new governor,Mai Mala Buni tied the knot on Thursday few hours after he assumed office.
The curious aspect is that the new bride, Ummi Adams Gaidam, is the daughter of the former governor Ibrahim Gaidam.
By this,the two families wanted to ensure that his blood remains in government circle.
The bride, who is currently studying in Saudi Arabia, is coming as the third wife.
Insiders said it was Mr Buni who sought the hands of Ummi in marriage, without initially the knowledge of her father, in order to strengthen their political relationship.

It was reliably gathered that the lowkey marriage was solemnized at Mr Gaidam’s residence at Sabon Fegi area Damaturu, the state capital.
“The bales of kolanut were presented yesterday, and the wedding Fatiha took place today in the presence of a few family members,” said a family source who preferred anonymity.
Mr Buni, the immediate-past National Secretary of the ruling party, All Progressives Congress, APC, was anointed by Mr Gaidam to succeeded him as governor.
He was sworn-in on Wednesday by the state Chief Judge, Justice Garba Na Baruma.
