Nigerian leaders from the ruling All Progressives Congress and the
opposition Peoples Democratic Party, including past and present
governors, and other dignitaries displayed wealth frontally on Friday by
flying over 100 private jets to Kano State to attend the wedding of
Yusuf, the son of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Amid the country’s
rising debt profile blamed on wasteful expenditure by the leadership,
over 100 private jets touched down on Friday at the Mallam Aminu Kano
Airport owned by politicians and other affluent people attending the
wedding.
The wedding between Yusuf and Zahra, daughter of Emir of
Bichi, in Kano, has been tagged the merger of presidency and royalty by
social observers.
The marriage of the new couple has been the talk of the town on social media for months.
“As
we speak, there are more than 100 private jets at the Kano airport. You
can hardly find a flight to Kano from anywhere since Wednesday. All the
five-star hotels in this state have been booked. Kano is currently
choked up. There is traffic congestion everywhere for Buhari’s son’s
wedding,” a resident stated.
According to a statement by Garba
Shehu, the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity,
Buhari had sent a high-level delegation led by Professor Ibrahim
Gambari, his Chief of Staff, to make preparations for the wedding.
The
presidential aide had revealed that the delegation includes several
ministers, including retired Major-General Bashir Magashi, Defence;
Alhaji Sabo Nanono, Agriculture; Sen. Hadi Sirika, Aviation; Suleiman
Hussein, Water Resources; and Garba Shehu.
Dignitaries at the
event include Atiku Abubakar, Buhari’s major opponent in the 2019
presidential election; Femi Fani Kayode, Buhari’s fierce critic; and
Rauf Aregbesola, former Governor of Osun State.
