I Wish My Young Girl Graduated From School Before Marrying Buhari’s Son – Emir Of Bichi

Zahra and Yusuf are scheduled to be wedded on Friday, August 20, at the Emir’s Palace in Bichi. Report has it that  seven governors had already visited the Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, the elder brother of Zahra’s father, in June to formalise plans for the wedding.

The Emir of Bichi said he has been enjoying close relationship with his children and  that it was a difficult decision to marry off any of his children due to the bond between them.

His words, “I’m very close to my children, so sending away Zahra is also an issue for me, but we thank God.
“She’s a young girl, only 20; and she’s in her final year in the university studying architecture.

“I would have loved for Zahra to stay and finish her school and live with me a little longer, but we cannot change what God has ordained, we can only pray and wish them a successful married life,” he said.
Emir Bayero however found solace from the Hadiths, especially the part where the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “When you successfully raise three daughters and marry them off, Allah will give you a place in paradise”.
“This is my prayer and hope that through them God will give me Aljanah,” he said.
