He sacked
his first wife; a dentist in the person of Dr.
Remilekun Williams 5 years ago over what was termed irreconcilable
differences. His parting away with the mother of his four eldest children
(Christopher, Oyinade, Emmanuel and Ifeoluwa) equally led to his dumping of his
former church, Redeemed Christian Church

“Hanky-panky spiritual meddlesomeness” in his private life. Kojo is now a full blown Catholic (Charismatic)

Koja & New Love, Isi opens up a new life with smile |
How they met
Kojo Williams who is well loved by the opposite
sex due to his impeccable fashion sense was said to have ran into Isidora at a party couple of years ago
and both of them only exchanged greetings and went their different ways until
early in the year when another occasion presented itself for encounter. The
source who confided in Asabeafrika
said this second encounter presented the opportunity for the very pretty and
sexy Isidora to remind the equally
handsome and dandy football buff how she earlier met him at an event two years ago
and that ignited a robust fire of attention from Kojo as he instantly noticed
the inspiring beauty of Isidora and
the story changed from there “I
think he (Kojo) started noticing other things like beauty, charm and
intelligence in her. He didn’t really approach her directly. You know Kojo is very apt in his decision, he
always try to investigate before investing. He went through a female mutual
friend and she was the one who actually connected both of them through
Blackberry” said the source that was privy to how Kojo got his new wife.

The Newly Wedded Mr. and Mrs. Williams |
So, what do you say to it sir?
When Asabeafrika put a call to Mr. Williams’ MTN Line at 10:06pm on
Friday May 29th, an aide who picked the call said the former NFA
boss was in a meeting and will get back to us. We told him what we wanted to
know and he promised to relate to his boss. However, when we didn’t hear from
the fashion loving football buff after an hour, we called back and this time
around it was the former NFA Chairman who picked the call. On getting to know
our reason for the call, Mr. Williams
asked in a strong voice how we knew about the development “Who told you all
this? Where did you get your information from?” But on getting to know that we
indeed, had facts on the Thursday wedding, Mr.
Williams who is likely to jet out to Nice, France with the woman that stole
his heart next week confirmed the story “Yes, I have moved on. Yes, I have a
new woman with me. Yes, she is now my wife and we actually wedded on Thursday
21st”.

Kojo & Wife, Isi, taking their vow last Thursday before Ikoyi Registry officials |
On why he married the 34 years old ex-US marine expert, Kojo Williams replied “She is a very
humble, God fearing, down to earth and extremely intelligent lady. My wife is a
very cultured lady. She is not the typical materialistic person; she is a very
professional lady. She is very straightforward; whatever you see with her is
what you get”. Speaking further on Isidora,
Kojo who declined to say anything
about his ex-wife, Dr. Remilekun
Williams gave more attributes of his new found love “I think she loves
humanity. She loves charity and she doesn’t look down on people. Very humane, you
can imagine the first day I took her out, she asked us to visit the sick at the
hospital instead of an eatery and that really touched me and changed my
perception about her. She loves giving care to the needy; I have never seen
such a woman with a giving heart. She is
just a great soul with love and care for the ordinary people. I am happy, I
made the choice to have her” the ex-NFA Chairman told Asabeafrika in a 15 minute chat.

During an
encounter early last years inside his Victoria Island home, Kojo Williams who
hate discussing about his old relationship said his ex-wife remains his best

relationship. If He gives us kids, so be it; one or two or three, I am not to
tell you that and if none, glory be to Him” as the ex-NFA boss hung the
receiver.
