Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo
State on Saturday, expressed shock when he was ordered to pay only N50,000 as
the dowry for the daughter of Kano State governor.
Recall that the intra cultural
marriage between the Fulani and Yoruba, involving Governor Ajimobi’s son,
Idris, and Fatima, Ganduje’s daughter went down in Kano at the weekend.
Ganduje had told Ajimobi, “your
son will pay N50.000 as dowry my brother.
The Yoruba governor who was taken
aback by the token against the backdrop of stupendous wealth at his disposal
glorified God while still in shock.
He, thereafter, said in pleasant
surprise, “Laa’ilaha Ilalahu (there is no God save Allah), na so marriage cheap
for this side? Abeg add one more for Idris.”
Ajimobi’s request was, however,
shut down by a general laughter as the Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammad Sanusi who
consummated the marriage in line with Islamic principles flagged off the
marriage.
President Buhari who was
physically present at the Kano Central mosque
served as the Guardian to the groom, while the APC national leader,
Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu stood for Idris Ajimobi as Guardian and paid N50.000
dowry that was handed over to President Buhari.
Baba Buhari was unable to attend the forceful marriage between the Boko Haram and the abducted girls from Dapchi school simply because he was at another wedding of governor daughter to governor son in Kano.he gods are wise
