It was case of different strokes for different folks as the son of the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, Ashraf Adam, and his partner, Sultana Nazif, tied the nuptial knot in Abuja yesterday amid nationwide protest.
The ceremony took place at the national mosque in Abuja and was followed by a glamorous reception.
The groom later took to his Instagram page to share photos and videos from the event depicting his transition from babanriga and cap into a two-piece black and white suit.
The bride on her part spotted a heavily beaded white dress matched with a veil and lots of pearls.
The pre-wedding photos the couple released on their social media handles had attracted massive congratulatory messages from other users.
Sultana is the daughter of Suleiman Mohammed Nazif, a politician from Bauchi State.
Ashraf, on the other hand, is one of the sons of Muhammad Lamido Sanusi II, the recently restored Emir of kano who is also a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) from 2009 to 2014 when he was suspended by ex-President Goodluck Jonathan in controversial circumstances.
He later became the Emir of Kano in 2020 but was deposed by Abdullahi Ganduje administration in the state for allegedly “disrespecting lawful instructions.”
He was, however, reinstated by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf on May 23.
