Arrangements have reached an advanced stage for the wedding ceremony of nine children of the ex-Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle.
An invitation card for the event, which has been widely circulated on social media, was sighted on Saturday. According to the invitation, which bears the ex-minister’s photograph, the weddings will take place at the Abuja Central Mosque by 1:30 p.m. on February 6.
The children listed on the invitation are Ibrahim, Suraj, Safiya, Maryam, Aisha, Fahad, Muh’d, Nana Firdausi, and Farida.
Confirming the development, the spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress in Zamfara State, Yusuf Idris, told newsmen that the nine children comprise five sons and four daughters.
“By the grace of God, the ceremony will be conducted at the Abuja Central Mosque on February 6,” Idris said. “The minister’s children who are getting married are five sons and four daughters. I am a member of the organising committee, and preparations are already in top gear to ensure a smooth ceremony in Abuja next month.”
