Kano State Deputy Governor, Alhaji Murtala Sule Garo, on Sunday attended the wedding Fatiha of Muhammad Jamil Idi Shuwaki and his bride, Nana Aisha Muhammad Kabir, in Gezawa Local Government Area.
The groom, Muhammad Jamil Idi Shuwaki is a younger brother to former Executive Chairman of Ghari Local Government.
The ceremony was held at the residence of the Gunduwawa Ward Head, where Garo served as Wakili (representative) to the groom, with a dowry payment of N200,000 in accordance with Islamic marriage rites.
The Deputy Governor congratulated the couple and wished them a peaceful and prosperous married life filled with mutual understanding, happiness and blessings.
Garo attended the ceremony alongside members of his delegation, representing the Kano State Government.
Following the wedding ceremony, the Deputy Governor proceeded to Kurna, where he, on behalf of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, extended the government’s condolences to the family of late Nura Audu Dambatta, popularly known as ‘Bomboy’.
The deceased, who was a political ally of the Deputy Governor, died on Friday after a prolonged illness. He is survived by two children.
Garo conveyed the government’s sympathy to the bereaved family and prayed for the repose of the deceased’s soul, while wishing the family strength and comfort during the difficult period.
