| Beautiful bride getting set |
The ancient city of Kano became the focal point for many hours yesterday, March 3, 2018. Nigeria, at least a sizeable chunk of the power that makes Nigeria tick and tock, gathered to celebrate 2 young lovers. The gathering of these high powered blend or mix, was because they were the children of 2 well known and well respected states Chief Executives, in the persons of Senator Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State and his Kano counterpart, Dr. Umar Abdullahi Ganduje.
For Ganduje, it was his beautiful, very stylish, very brilliant daughter, by name Fatima "Baby" Abdullahi Ganduje, a First Class graduate of International and Comparative Politics, from the renowned American University of Nigeria, Yola, Adamawa. For AJIMOBI, it was his son, in fact only son, an equally brilliant and handsome, but quiet dude, by name Idris Abolaji Abiola-Ajimobi.
For you to better understand what we meant by Nigeria gathered in Kano temporarily, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammad Buhari, GCFR was in attendance, the Vice President of Nigeria was well represented by his very nice wife, Mrs. Dolapo "Dolly" Osinbajo, whose daughter's wedding is forthcoming this month also. The 3rd in the hierarchy of power, who would be a most prominent feature come 2019 presidential election, Senator/Dr Bukola Saraki, the Senate President was in attendance. 22 Governors out of 36 state Governors were in attendance! Likes of Nasir El Rufai-Kaduna, Akinwunmi Ambode-Lagos, Ibikunle Amosun-Ogun, Rochas Okorocha-Imo, Yahaya Bello-Kogi, Rauf Aregbesola-Osun, Abdul'Aziz Abubakar Yari-Zamfara, Badaru Abubakar-Jigawa etc. Those who couldn't attend sent representatives. More than 11 Ministers attended, not less than 10 Royal fathers from across Nigeria were in attendance, one of those seen was the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III, the Iku Baba Yeye himself and yet there were captains of industries likes of Aliko Dangote, BUA Grp's AbdulSamad Isiyaku Rabiu etc, top members of the diplomatic corps and so many more high powered guests from everywhere.
The wedding itself was packed full with much drama. It's not everyday that the highly respected and revered monarch, HRM, the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammad Sanusi II would conduct a wedding ceremony by himself, ably assisted by the Chief Iman, Prof Sani Zarahaddeen! While the groom was represented by none other than the President himself, who gave out the ₦50000 dowry, the bride was ably represented by the APC National leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu who received the dowry!
It was a beautiful occasion in all ramifications, a blend of the very colourful traditions and cultures of the South (Yoruba) and the North. At a point in the whole colourful and rich event, Abolaji the groom temporarily became the King of Wakanda, when he sat on a throne like chair and his friends around him playfully did the sign of the Wakandan elite soldiers.
More after the break.

I can’t lie, this was a very nice wedding. The couple looked so in love. And it was fun. Yes people would hate and all that but their kids would marry now. They were not poor before becoming governors. Beautiful couple . Happy for them
ReplyDeleteIf you come for me, you’re wasting your time. Be happy for others, so your own can come too. ....
Speak for yourself Foolish One. Is not about being sad but about them being wasteful and showing off when the people that works for them in their states hasn't been paid for months. Is about being sensitive to the state of the country but then I have forgotten that they were all bunch of insensitive, vain, shallow animals

DeleteIdris needs to shave off that yeye beard please; looks like an old broom. Lol
ReplyDeleteHappy married life to them.
Ekaabo Mr.Aloba.
Almost everyone I know that attended that university finished with a ‘First Class’ and coincidentally they are all from ‘branded families’ - Just saying
ReplyDeleteAloba is like crack! Want to stop when you go missing but can't! Aloba! Please be honey and not crack! Can't deal Biko!
ReplyDeleteAnyone with stolen money will have a nice carnival call wedding too
ReplyDeleteThey were rich before becoming governors? How did they make their money? Which businesses did Ajimobi own before governor? I am asking a genuine question.
ReplyDeleteAjumobi was a top shot at Conoil those days. Danguje an extremely brilliant technocrat with a PhD. Got it, now let it rest
Delete"Top shot at Conoil" must have been a salary earner, at most a few millions. Even the directors of companies in the U.K. are not paid in billions, so his lifestyle now and that of his family is definitely subsidised by government funds.
