Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Friday gave out his daughter, Laila Atiku, in marriage to Saleh Maitala at a ceremony held at the National Mosque in Abuja.
The union was a culmination of a traditional process that began last year when Atiku hosted the groom’s family as they formally requested Laila’s hand in marriage.
Sharing the news on X.com on Friday, Atiku wrote, “The joy of giving away a daughter in marriage supported by family and friends is priceless.
“I wish Laila and her husband, Saleh Maitala, a blessed marriage. My gratitude also goes to all the dignitaries, associates, and friends who honoured my family with their presence at the wedding Fatiha in Abuja today.”
