The children of Nigeria’s Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, will marry in a joint ceremony at the Abuja Central Mosque on February 6. Invitations circulating online confirm that five sons and four daughters—Ibrahim, Suraj, Safiya, Maryam, Aisha, Fahad, Muh’d, Nana Firdausi, and Farida- will wed on the same day.
According to the APC spokesperson in Zamfara State, Yusuf Idris, preparations are in advanced stages for the event, which is scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m.
Key Points:
The ceremony highlights cultural and familial traditions of large-scale wedding celebrations among prominent Nigerian families.
It draws significant public and media attention due to Matawalle’s high-profile role as a serving minister and former governor.
The event may prompt discussions about the social and economic dimensions of multi-wedding ceremonies in political circles.
Security and logistical arrangements will be closely managed, given the minister’s position and the expected attendance of dignitaries.
The publicity surrounding the event blends personal celebration with public political visibility.
The February ceremony will be a notable social and political gathering, with attention likely to focus on attendance and cultural presentation.
