Several top dignitaries from Nigeria and beyond gathered in Abuja on Friday, February 6, for the wedding fatiha of ten children of the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, all of whom were married on the same day.

The wedding ceremony held in the National Mosque Abuja after which they proceeded to a big hall where the reception for all 10 children took place.

Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu was in attendance and even received the brides on behalf of the Matawalles into the family.

The President of São Tomé and Príncipe, Carlos Vila Nova, also attended the ceremony alongside Tinubu.

 

Also present were the Deputy Senate President, Senator Jubril Barau, and Senior Special Assistant to the President on Politics and Other Matters, Ibrahim Masari.

Governors at the event included Ahmad Aliyu of Sokoto State, Umar Namadi of Jigawa State, and Nasir Idris of Kebbi State.

 

 

Matawalle, a former governor of Zamfara State, gave out five of his daughters: Maryam, Safiyya, Farida, Nana Firdausi, and Aisha, in marriage.

Five of his sons: Ibrahim, Abdul Jalal, Surajo, Bello, and Fahad, also got married on the same day.
