• Billionaire magnate and ex-power broker steps out of self-imposed exile for son’s wedding
Like a squirrel breaking into the grasslands long after it scurried into the safety of its hutch, Dahiru Mangal, ex-political powerbroker and businessman, has re-emerged on the sociopolitical turf. Although he scurried into safety, from the rampage of perceived predators, soon after his bosom friend and confidant, late former President, Umar Yar’Adua, passed away in controversial circumstances, the billionaire magnate’s name tolls once again and very loudly, like an alarum bell.
Years after his withdrawal from the social scene, the highly connected brains behind Max Airlines is in the news again. His son, Muhammmad Dahiru Dikko Mangal, recently got married to the daughter of Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal, Aisha. The wedding ceremony took place some days ago. Prominent faces at the ceremony included Senate President, Bukola Saraki, President Muhammadu Buhari, Zamfara state governor, Abdula’aziz Yari, among others. The wedding was unarguably one of the most lavish ceremonies of 2016.
