Fateema Ganduje and Idris Ajimobi tied the knot in lavish
ceremonies on March 3 in Kano. The grand 3-day events was attended by
President Buhari, Senate President, Bukola Saraki, governors and APC
National Leader, Bola Tinubu, among other dignitaries.
The state Shariah police, Hisbah, which bans open
entertainment, mingling between men and women and use of musical
instruments during marriage ceremonies in the state, was severely criticized for allowing Ganduje daughter’s events to hold without
disruption.
Taking to his Facebook page, the Islamic cleric said he was out of of town during the events.
"On Saturday [March 3] I left for Sokoto around 1pm shortly
after the wedding Fatiha for the review of Dr Mansur’s book on Iziyya
commentaries," he said.
“After spending two days in Sokoto, I proceeded to Zamfara
to preach. I spent a day there, and then travelled to Kaduna for a
two-hour DITV programme.
“On Friday, I preached for women in Rigasa and later delivered Friday prayer sermon.
“After Maghrib prayer, I preached at Shaik Rabiu Daura mosque.
“On Saturday morning, I hold (another) preaching session for women at Sultan Bello Mosque, and from there I returned to Kano. To those who want to see me, I am back in my office.
“Everybody want to hear my comment on the marriage ceremony of the governor’s daughter; now what do you want me to say?” Daurawa asked.
