A father is indeed a biological necessity but it takes more than procreation to make an awesome father. It is unarguable that the offspring of Abubakar Atiku provides for his family the best way he can however, it is easier for the former Vice President to have children than for his 30 children or thereabouts to have a real father. Although he gives his children the best life has to offer, report has it that the respected politician treats his children like he treats business associates. Not only do they have to book appointments before they get to see him, Atiku’s children do not have easy access to their father neither do they know what a typical father and child bonding moment feels like. The Turaki Adamawa loves his children and this fact is undeniable; he simply has a different way of showing his love.

The APC big gun spares no expense in giving them the best that his immense wealth can afford and perhaps the reason for the distance between him and his children is simply because he is a busy man. Atiku’s wives have no better luck with their husband as he is just as evasive to them as he is to his children. Atiku’s wives may be finding it increasingly difficult to cope with his persistent absence and this is because a woman craves the attention of her husbandIt comes as no surprise that his pretty third wife, Fatima was banished to a tastefully furnished apartment in Lagos before the ultimate end of their union. Their union was blessed with six children but this didn’t seem to matter to the politician. Although the couple attribute the end of their union to irreconcilable difference, report has it that there was more to their separation than meets the eye. report has it that Titi, his first wife, has little luck with him. 

Atiku is reportedly unhappy with her intrusive nature, particularly how she interferes in their children’s marriages and crucial life decisions. Atiku in annoyance now pays more attention to Jemilah, his last wife who showers him with so much care and affection. He is so besotted with Jemilah that he consults with her in most of the decisions that affect his life and pursuits. Nevertheless, Titi remains unperturbed and has resolved to focus on caring for her grandchildren than pine for the attention of her husband.
