Turai, wife of Nigeria’s late President Umaru Yar’Adua, could perhaps qualify for the world’s most reported president‘s wife. Ever since November 23, 2009 when her husband was hurriedly flown out of Nigeria to treat what his personal physician described as acute pericarditis in Saudi Arabia, Turai has been in the news.



But apart from her late husband‘s spokesperson, Segun Adeniyi, who described her as ”a warm, caring, not-in-your-face woman who wants her husband to succeed and who is eager to ensure stability on the home front and leverage her moral power for the greater good of the society,” and a few other cronies, Turai has attracted more of negative news than positive in the last few months.
