What is being described as one of the most extraordinary family events in the Federal Capital Territory this year is set to take place as nine children of the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, prepare to get married on the same day in Abuja
Plans for the joint wedding ceremony are already at an advanced stage, with the event fixed for February 6 at the Abuja Central Mosque, scheduled to begin at 1:30 pm.
An invitation card that has been making the rounds on social media, and sighted on Saturday, features the photograph of the minister and lists the names of the couples as Ibrahim, Suraj, Safiya, Maryam, Aisha, Fahad, Muhammad, Nana Firdausi and Farida.
The development was confirmed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) Zamfara State Publicity Secretary, Yusuf Idris, who disclosed that the celebrants include five sons and four daughters of the former Zamfara State governor.
“By the grace of God, the wedding ceremony will hold at the Abuja Central Mosque on February 6. The minister’s children getting married are five sons and four daughters,” Idris stated.
He added that he is part of the planning committee and noted that preparations are moving steadily toward ensuring a smooth and successful ceremony.
“At the moment, all necessary arrangements are in place to guarantee a well-organised and memorable event in Abuja,” he added.
