Halima Amirah Junaid, the granddaughter of the late President Muhammadu Buhari, is preparing to marry Walid Shehu Mu’azu in a ceremony to be held in Kaduna state.
The wedding preparations commenced this week in Abuja, where former first lady Aisha Buhari hosted a gathering of women in anticipation of the main event.
Halima is the daughter of the late Zulaihat Junaid, Buhari’s first child, who passed away during childbirth.
Zulaihat was married to Junaid Abdullahi. She is the daughter of Safinatu, Buhari’s first wife, who is also late.
Abubakar Adamu, a coordinator for the wedding, provided clarity on the bride’s family background to Gidipoint.
He confirmed that following the death of Zulaihat, the former first lady Aisha Buhari assumed the role of caregiver for the late president’s grandchildren.
Adamu also dismissed widespread reports that mistakenly identified Halima as the daughter of the Buhari child who was married to Abubakar Malami, former attorney-general of the federation.
The mother of the bride is late. She was with her husband when she died. It was her sister who was married to Malami. Even the one that they gave birth to is still alive now. Because she died during childbirth, he said.
The boy is alive. All the children are with Aisha who is doing all that woman thing in Abuja. But the wedding proper would happen on the 30th.
The culture is that it is the father who has to give his daughter out.
The official wedding ceremony between Halima Amira Junaid and Walid Shehu Mu’azu is scheduled for August 30 in Kaduna.
The wedding reception will follow at the prestigious Kaduna Polo Club.
