Salawa Abeni, renowned Nigerian singer, introduced her third husband, Rasheed Adahunse, during his birthday celebration.
Adahunse, a retired comptroller and commandant of the Customs Training College, celebrated his retirement and birthday in Lagos recently.
Abeni shared a video of her performance at the event on her Instagram page and congratulated Adahunse on both occasions.
“I don’t have much words to utter, let me thank God. I will just say a bit about Alhaji Abdulrasheed Agbolade, my dearest husband,” she said.
“You are retired but not tired, I pray that as God joined us together as husband and wife four years ago, you will live long and have abundance.
“I saw you then as a complete ‘English’ man, you saw me as a musician. But love conquered all. I have not chosen wrongly. From today, call me Abeni Idunu Ishola.”
Salawa Abeni began her career in 1976 when she released ‘Late General Muritala Ramat Mohammed’, her debut album.
Her first marriage was with Lateef Adepoju, the owner of Leaders Records. Their union ended in 1986.
She later married Ayinla Kollington, another ace musician. Abeni joined his record label and stayed with him until 1994.
Rasheed Adahunse, the singer’s third husband, is the Asiwaju Adinni of Ijebu Isiwo.
