Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Friday gave away his daughter, Laila Atiku in marriage to Saleh Maitala at a ceremony held at the National Mosque in Abuja.
The union was a culmination of a traditional process that began last year when Atiku hosted the groom’s family as they formally requested Laila’s hand in marriage.
Sharing the news on X.com on Friday, Atiku wrote: “The joy of giving away a daughter in marriage supported by family and friends is priceless.
“I wish Laila and her husband, Saleh Maitala, a blessed marriage. My gratitude also goes to all the dignitaries, associates, and friends who honoured my family with their presence at the wedding Fatiha in Abuja today.”
However, it was reported that the lingering feud between the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, and the national leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party, Senator Musa Kwankwaso, took another dimension on Friday when both politicians avoided eye contact despite sitting close to each other at the wedding.
When both Ganduje and Kwankwaso spotted each other, they reportedly looked away, signaling a stack conflict between the duo.
Prominent political figures graced the wedding ceremony.
