The Presidency has dismissed
reports that President Muhammadu Buhari was getting married to a second wife.
Reports had it that Buhari will
today marry the Honourable Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster and
Management, Sadiya Umar Farouq.
This came following the continued
absence of the current First Lady, Aisha, who has been out of the Presidential
Villa since her trips to Saudi Arabia and UK.
According to a source, who spoke
on the condition of anonymity, Ms Farouk is a very close friend of Buhari and
the Villa cabals love her.
However, Buhari’s Special Adviser
on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, dispelled the report, stressing that the
“rumour was a deceptive manoeuvre by those who fabricated the news,” The Nation
reports.
According to The Nation, Adesina
noted that the “news was far from the truth.”
Buhari on Friday observed the
weekly two raka’at jumaat prayer at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Among those that joined him at
the jumaat prayer were presidential aides, some cabinet ministers and former
governor of Zamfara, Abdulaziz Yari as well as Senator Kabir Gaya.
The jumaat prayer, however,
witnessed unprecedented number of faithful.
They seemed to have stormed the
Villa mosque to confirm the authenticity or otherwise of the social media
reports claiming that President Buhari would have wedding fatiha for a second
wife.
