Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and some other chieftains of the party, including senators and businessmen as well as some state governors were in Dubai at the weekend to attend the wedding of the son of former vice president Atiku Abubakar, Abubakar Abba.
LEADERSHIP gathered that the big gala event at the prestigious Conrad Hotel in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (U.A.E) where Abba wedded his heartthrob, Mariyana Silver, an American, turned to a prayer ground where prayers were said for Nigeria to overcome its current challenges.
In a short speech, Atiku described the day as one of the most significant in his life, just as he congratulated Mariyana for “pinning down Abba.”
Among those who attended the event were the national leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the national chairman of the party, Chief Bisi Akande, former governor Ali Modu Sherriff and the senate president, Senator David Mark, who was represented by Senator Mohammed Bindawo Jibril.
Also present were Senator Ahmed Barata, former Senators Musa Adede and Rufa’i Hanga, Mrs Aishatu Buhari, the wife of former head of state, General Muhammadu Buhari, Governor Murtala Nyako, represented by his chief of staff, Alhaji Abdulrahman Abba and the secretary to the Borno State government, Ambassador Baba Ahmed Jidda.
