“I would have loved for Zahra to finish school and live with me a little longer before getting married to Buhari’s son” – Emir of Bichi

The Emir of Bichi, Kano, Nasir Ado Bayero, has said he wishes his daughter, Zahra who will be getting married to President Buhari’s Son would complete her studies and stay with him a bit longer

Zahra and Yusuf are set to tie the knot on Friday, August 20. The wedding fatiha will be held at Bichi Central Masjid, followed by a reception at the Emir’s Palace in Bichi.

In an exclusive interview with DailyTrust, the monarch spoke on his relationship with his children. He said it was a difficult decision to marry off any of his children because he is close to them all. “I’m very close to my children, so sending away Zahra is also an issue for me, but we thank God. She’s a young girl, only 20; and she’s in her final year in the university studying architecture.

“I would have loved for Zahra to stay and finish her school and live with me a little longer, but we cannot change what God has ordained, we can only pray and wish them a successful married life. When you successfully raise three daughters and marry them off, Allah will give you a place in paradise. This is my prayer and hope that through them God will give me Aljanah,” he said
