Kano is playing host to an array of politicians, religious leaders and business tycoons as preparations get underway for the wedding of Dr. Aisha Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the youngest daughter of the national leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

The society wedding is slated for Saturday, November 16, 2024, at the Kofar Kudu Palace of Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II.

According to photographs posted on Facebook by Kwankwaso’s media aide, Saifullahi Hassan, on Friday, Kano State governor, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, alongside Senator Kwankwaso, were seen personally welcoming the dignitaries to the latter’s home in Kano.

Seven former governors have arrived in Kano so far to celebrate with the Kwankwaso family. They include Lucky Igbinedion (Edo State), Mahmud Aliyu Shinkafi (Zamfara State), Isa Yuguda (Bauchi State), Obong Victor Attah (Akwa Ibom State), Chief Achike Udenwa (Imo State), and Senator Adamu Aliero (Kebbi State).

Also, prominent Islamic clerics, including the national leader of the Izala Movement, Sheikh Bala Lau, and his right-hand man, Sheikh Kabir Gombe, have arrived Kano ahead of the wedding.

Governor Yusuf will serve as the guardian of the bride and give her hand out in marriage to Engr. Fahad Dahiru Mangal, the son of Katsina-based business magnate, Alhaji Dahiru Barau Mangal.
