Proud Father: Dimeji Bankole is over the Moon 

Being a parent is such an amazing thing. To think that one contributed to bringing another human being into the world is something worthy of pride and celebration. The former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole, has joined the list of those who know this joy, having recently become a father.

It is a time of joy and rejoicing in the families of Bankole and Alhaji Atiku Bagudu, Minister of Budget and Economic Planning and stepfather of Bankole’s wife, Aisha. The occasion is the delivery of the couple’s first child together. Taking it to mean that their union is ordained, the families are all over the moon.

It is especially a matter of great joy for Bankole. As readers would recall, during his time as Speaker of the House of Representatives, Bankole was an unmarried man. It was not until 2021 that Aisha tied her wagon to his, taking him off the bachelor market for the second time and changing his marital status for the better.

According to the reports, Aisha delivered the child in London on October 6, 2023. Although the child’s gender is not yet in the public space, it is a given that it is the biggest blessing to come the way of Bankole in a long time.

Of course, Aisha has also been a bundle of joy for Bankole. She came into the picture after the former House of Reps Speaker divorced his wife, Olaitan, in 2017. A lawyer and graduate of the University of Hull in the United Kingdom (UK), Aisha did not take too long to help Bankole recover his spark and sparkle.

With such a lovely wife and an even lovelier child, Bankole is sure to be over the moon.
