Yusuf, son of President Muhammadu Buhari, has tied the knot
with Zahra Bayero, daughter of the Emir of Bichi.
The lovebirds got married as scheduled in a wedding event
that was staged in Kano on Friday afternoon.
The marriage ceremony took place at the palace of the Emir
of Bichi, where the Fatiha was also staged.
According to BBC Hausa, the dowry paid for Zahra is
N500,000.
The wedding was attended by a deluge of prominent figures
including the president and Yemi Osinbajo, vice-president.
Also present were members of Buhari’s delegation including
Bashir Magashi, minister of defense; Sabo Nanono, minister of agriculture; Hadi
Sirika, minister for aviation; and Suleiman Hussein Adamu, minister for water
resources.
Garba Shehu, Buhari’s senior special assistant on media and
publicity, also said members of the delegation would stay back after the wedding
to represent the president at the coronation of the emir at Bichi the next day.
In March, Yusuf’s family members had visited the family of
Ado Bayero to seek the marriage of Zahra.
The lovebirds were said to have met each other in the United
Kingdom where the president’s son finished his undergraduate studies.
Zahra is a graduate of architecture from Brighton University
in the UK.
