One of the youngest royal fathers in Nigeria, Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi (Kusenla III), is set to pick a second wife in Kano, today, May 3.

Reports say his new bride is Hadiza Tanko, who is the younger sibling of Salihu Tanko Yakasai, special adviser to the Kano state governor.

Oba Elegushi is married to his first wife, Sekinat Aramide, his childhood sweetheart, for 16 years and they have three daughters; Safiat Adeteniola, Suliat Ademide and Sarrinah Abisade.

Observers say the monarch may have decided to pick a second wife because he is in search of a male child.
