There was heavy security within the Kano metropolis, particularly in Bichi, yesterday, ahead of tomorrow’s wedding and Saturday’s coronation.
President Muhammadu Buhari is expected at his son Yusuf’s wedding (Fatiha) to Zahra Bayero in Bichi, Kano State, tomorrow, the event’s Organising Committee Chairman, Shehu Ahmed, told reporters.
Ahmed said the wedding, expected to be attended by eminent personalities from within and outside the state, will hold by 1:30pm after the Friday Jumat prayer.
It was learnt last night that Governor Abdullahi Ganduje will on Saturday present the Staff of Office to the President’s father-in law, Alhaji Nasiru Ado Bayero, who is the Emir of Bichi.
Ahmed said:
We have two historic events on Friday and Saturday in Bichi — the wedding Fatiha of Buhari’s son with the daughter of Emir of Bichi and the coronation of the emir.
