President Muhammadu Buhari and
hundreds of Muslims on Friday observed the weekly two raka’at prayer at the Aso
Rock Mosque, Abuja.
Presidential aides, some cabinet
ministers and Abdulaziz Yari, former governor of Zamfara state, were among the
personalities at the mosque.
According to NAN, a seemingly
unprecedented number of faithful prayed at the mosque on Friday.
“In what appeared an attempt by
some curious worshippers to confirm the veracity of social media allegation of
Buhari’s taking a second wife,” NAN said in its report.
On October 10, social media was
abuzz with stories of Buhari getting set to marry Sadiya Umar Farouq, minister
of humanitarian affairs, disaster management and social development.
The post, which went viral, had
October 11 as the wedding date.
However, Buhari only exchanged
pleasantries with citizens after the prayer session.
NAN said some of the worshippers
condemned those behind the fake news, calling on well-meaning citizens to
always shun unverified social media reports.
The minister mentioned in the
fake marriage is currently overseas on official assignment
