Wife of the Vice President, Dolapo Osinbajo and the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II
Wife of the Vice President, Dolapo Osinbajo was in Kano on Saturday at the grand wedding ceremony of Fatima Abudullahi Ganduje daughter of Kano state Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and Idris Abolaji Ajimobi son of Oyo state Governor Abiola Ajimobi.
The ceremony which took place at the Kano Central mosque was presided over by the Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi II.
The All Progressives Congress national leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who stood as the groom’s representative, paid the sum of N50,000 as dowry, while President Muhammadu Buhari, who stood as the representative of the bride’s father, accepted the bride price in line with Islamic injunction.
The wedding fatiha also saw the presence of about 20 governors as well as other dignities.
During the wedding fatiha, Emir Sanusi II said marriage was a religious injunction which all believers must respect.“Marriage is a very important institution in the society. Allah has directed every Muslim adult who is gainfully employed or has a means of livelyhood to marry a woman he loves and the two, start up their home in love and harmony”, he added.
The wedding brought activities in the ancient city of Kano to a standstill as visitors and well-wishers came out in large numbers to grace the wedding fatiha at the Kano Central Mosque.
