Governor of Sokoto state and former speaker of the house of representatives, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal on Thursday took Maryam Mairo Mustapha as his second wife at a very private ceremony in Kano.
TheCable understands that Mustapha, a 36-year-old graduate of Bayero University, immediately travelled to Saudi Arabia for lesser hajj, judging by posts on her Facebook wall where her friends have been congratulating her.
She was a volunteer for Buhari Support Organisations during the 2015 electioneering. Her father was a second republic politician. The Kano ceremony was attended by only family members and there were no parties thereafter. In her Facebook profile, she wrote her favourite quote as:
“Existence is a strange bargain. Life owes us little, we owe it everything.
The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose…… Smiles !!
