Being the first lady in a state could be very interesting - perks apart. Among other things you have the chance to sit on cozy seats with the governor during public functions or even represent him on occasions. But in Adamawa state, playing the part has become a game of wits. The governor there happen to have four wives and it has now become a race to the podium for the quartet.
Soon after the governor was sworn-in, the problem surfaced as each wife sought to occupy the role to the exclusion of the others. And naturally some less-than-first-lady-like scenes must have been created to the chagrin of the governor and on lookers.
Now how do you solve this kind of problem amicably? Who would accompany the governor and act as the first lady today or this week?
The governor acted swiftly and I am not surprized since he was once a general in the Navy. In the true fashion of the military he assigned the wives different portfolios or areas where each can serve as a first lady to the exclusion of the others.
So Adamawa now has a first lady for political and moblisation affairs, a different first lady for home affairs, another first lady for health and yet another first lady for Abuja affairs. Four different first ladies but all wives of m'lord, the governor.
Problem solved amicably. Unless you have another bright idea, I am giving the governor an "A" rating for coming up with this solution.
