Behold the Bauchi state governor and his 21 year old 4th wife to be.
The president's daughter

Forced or arranged o

and the bride is none other than the presidents daughter.

Another high-profile marriage ceremony is set for Katsina early next year with Bauchi State Governor Malam Isa Yuguda billed to marry President Umaru Yar’adua’s daughter Hajiya Nafisa on January 24, 2009.

Daily Trust gathered that the initial process ahead of the solemnization of the marriage was concluded in Katsina at the weekend, where the President and his wife Hajiya Turai spent the Christmas holidays.

Our correspondent gathered that Governor Yuguda’s family representatives arrived in Katsina on Saturday and met with Yar’adua family members, after which an agreement was made to tentatively fix the wedding fatiha for January 24, 2009.

Though Daily Trust could not confirm the amount of money fixed as bride price, it was confirmed that the traditional gifts for the bride, known as Lefe, were delivered by Yuguda’s family members. A family source said about twenty boxes full of cloth, toiletries, footwear, bags and jewellery were brought to the house in a small truck.

When our reporter visited the family house in Yar’adua Quarters in the weekend, he observed that elderly female members of the Yar’adua family were mobilised to receive the traditional gift from the suitors.

Another source told Daily Trust that Governor Isa Yuguda’s family members arrived Katsina airport in a chartered flight on Saturday. Two golden coloured Lincoln Navigator jeeps and another black Prado jeep bearing Bauchi State plate numbers conveyed them and the gifts to the president’s family house. Talk about this marriage had been on since late last year, and earlier this year, Daily Trust erroneously reported that a date had been set for its solemnisation. The report turned out to be premature.

When Daily Trust contacted Bauchi State government officials last night, they claimed ignorance of weekend’s events. They however said they would be the first to tell Daily Trust if and when such an event is coming up.

Meanwhile, President Yar’adua himself left Katsina yesterday evening after spending three days’ Christmas break along with his family.

During his stay in the state, Yar’adua received many private visitors and held various meetings with state elders and traditional rulers. He also paid a private visit to the state university and to the maternal and children’s hospital projects initiated by his administration.

Among those who saw the president in Katsina was Zamfara State Governor Alhaji Mahmuda Aliyu Shinkafi, who was in the state on Saturday. Yar’adua also went to condole with the family of his former Commissioner of Information Alhaji Abdu Haro Mashi, who died last Wednesday.

Bauchi State Governor's Wives Fight Over First Lady Post
by usman on Wed Jun 20, 2007 6:48 pm

Wives of the Bauchi State governor, Mallam Isa Yuguda, are now at one
another’s throat over who becomes the official First Lady of the state
just as the first of the three wives, Aisha, has already claimed the
office.


Nigerian Tribune gathered that Aisha’s[b] co-wives, Hauwa Abiodun and
Mariya,[/b] were engaged in a silent plot of how to outsmart one another to
gain recognition and get their husband’s nod to be the first lady.


Sources also revealed that each of the wives had now set up a
non-governmental organisation (NGO) with which to gain popularity among the
people of the state.


They were also said to have started going round the state with the aim
of carrying out development projects to further entrench their NGOs in
the state, a development said to be smearing the person of Yuguda,
regarded as “a gentleman.”


The first wife’s project is known as ‘Women and Children Initiative
Scheme,’ aimed at bettering the lives of women and children in the
state, while the second wife, Hauwa, has ‘Challenge Your Disability
Initiative’ (CYDI) as her own pet project, which is aimed at restoring
hope to the physically challenged.


The NGO of the third wife, Mariya, is concerned with the prevalence of
HIV\AIDS and malaria among the people of the state.


However, unofficial information at the Government House, Bauchi,
indicated that Aisha had been designated the first lady.

how old is the bauchi gov?

Now a fresh 4th wife comes into the mix.
Move over old cargos,here comes the new blood.

NaJa HaJe:

how old is the bauchi gov?

make I reseach am

He can't be younger than 50

chei!!!

and there are still so many single men out there
it is well
God dey

Infact, It would have even been better if she had married her dad instead

His second wife Hajiya Abiodun was born in 1962,from some article I read and I can postulate that his first wife was probably born in 1960 or 1959 and since most of our men are older than their wives by at least five years,he may have been born around 1955 placing him at 53.
what a pervert!

StephenP:

Yeah, he married her too

Ibkaye would be the 6th wife of Yuguda. whenever she clocks 20

ibkaye:

hahahaha The president's daughter is pretty though but what use is beauty if you don't have the brains?

with parents with no common sense either.

*osisi*:

So true but I'm trying not to get them involved because at the end of the day, it is her marrying him not her parents. Plus, I suppose she has been educated so she should know a lot better.

If you didn't tell me I would have thought that man was her father.

poor girl.
who knows all the gymnastics she'll have to do to "get him up"
a used up 50 something year old man marrying a girl born in 1987.
This is almost annoying and I don't even know them.
Is Yaradua this stupid?
We know he needs some kidneys,does he also need a brain?

and the charade that is nepotism and government patronage continues to the detriment of the common man.

At least compared to Iyabo Obasanjo . . . Nafisa is good looking. We thank God for that small miracle.

not when it's expected of you for political reasons
how many 20 year old girls can stand up to their mom and dad?

StephenP:

she must have called him uncle at some point
can you imagine
not knowing that "uncle" wanted her on his bed

Well now she knows why she had more Christmas presents from him than her siblings.

For an arranged marriage, I think many would actually speak out and/or elope. Sure she might end up poorer but she'll be happier. I just want to sit her down and talk some sense to her.

Mr Osisi my man, how you dey today. I hope you are no longer angry with me about the insult i made earlier on.
