The Presidency has finally
reacted to viral claims that President Muhammadu Buhari is holding a wedding
for another wife, Sadiya Farouq.
Earlier this week, News
broke that president Buhari is set to marry the Minister of Humanitarian
Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development Sadiya Farouq.
The wedding was billed to
take place at a “private” event in Abuja on Friday, according to the claims.
There was a wedding Fatiya
invitation that also circulated on social media with various hashtags used
trending on Twitter about the alleged wedding.
However, a source at the
Presidential Villa wondered why Buhari will get married and make it a secret
affair.
According to the anonymous
source, the claims are the work of the opposition, describing them as fake.
“How will anyone expect
that the President will be getting married and it will be a secret affair?” the
source is quoted as saying by Tribune.
“Nigerians like to gist and
play banters, as it is another way of relaxation for many, and they have seen
the president as a personality that suits their side talks. It is bad, but that
is what happens.
“We can’t expect us to be
as many as this in Nigeria interns of population, with some oppositions against
the President and we won’t expect things like this not to happen.
“However, the news of the
President getting married today is false.”
As at the time of
publishing this report, Sadiya which the rumour claims to be Buhari’s new
bride, is in Geneva, Switzerland for the 70th session of the Executive
Committee of the High Commissioner’s Programme organised by the United Nations
High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
She tweeted about it,
saying: “On October 17, join us as we #WalkOutPoverty. The International Day
for the Eradication of Poverty is commemorated to encourage active
participation by all to respect the rights & dignity of people living in
poverty.”
