Yusuf, the son of President Muhammadu Buhari, is purportedly set to marry Zarah, the daughter of Nasir Ado Bayero, the Emir of Bichi, Kano state.
BBC Hausa reports that , a source close to the Bichi royal palace said the two families have met to discuss the marriage.
The source, who did not want to be named, was said to have stated that the president’s party had gone to the family of Ado Bayero, the late Emir of Kano, to seek the marriage of Zarah, who is still in the UK studying architecture.
Although reports earlier stated that the wedding was initially billed for the “next two to three months”, the source said both families have now agreed to “postpone the ceremony until possibly after fasting prayers or almsgiving”.
