Fani-Kayode, Buhari’s fierce critic, in Kano for Yusuf’s wedding


 

We guess it is in order to say all roads lead to Kano as Yusuf, son of President Muhammadu Buhari, is set to tie the knot with  Zahra, the daughter of Nasir Ado Bayero, the Emir of Bichi in Kano state.


Pre-wedding festivities have already begun but the main event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, August 21.

 

Several dignitaries, including governors and ministers, are thronging Kano to attend the event.

 

Femi Fani-Kayode, a fierce Buhari critic, announced via his Facebook page that he arrived in Kano on Thursday to attend the ceremony.


Fani-Kayode said he flew into the centre of commerce in the company of Bello Matawalle and Babagana Zulum, governors of Zamfara and Borno states; Isa Pantami, minister of communications and digital economy; Nuhu Ribadu, pioneer chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and other dignitaries, a number of which he (Fani-Kayode) has publicly attacked.

 

Despite his criticism of them, Fani-Kayode referred to them as “my friends”, adding that “it is a pleasure and a joy to be here”.

 

“Flew into Kano with my friends and brothers Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara state, Governor Babagana Umar Zulum of Borno State, Senator Sani Ahmed Yarima, Senator Ali Ndume, Ambassador Bashir Yuguda, Hon. Minister Isa Pantami, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu and others for the wedding ceremony of President Muhammadu Buhari’s son, Yusuf Buhari, to HRH Nasiru Ado Bayero, the Emir of Bichi’s daughter, Zahra Ado Bayero,” Fani Kayode wrote.


“The flight was great and we thank God for journey mercies. Kano is a massive, pulsating city which is steeped in tradition and history. It is a pleasure and a joy to be here. Will keep you posted.”

 

In March, the Buhari family visited the family of Ado Bayero to seek the hand of Zahra.

 

The lovebirds were said to have met each other in the United Kingdom where the president’s son finished his undergraduate studies.
