The Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, has secretly taken a new bride at a very private ceremony held in Borno State.
Lawan married Zainab Algoni Abdulwahid, a young Shuwa Arab girl, according to SaharaReporters.
The modest marriage was solemnized at the Sheikh Sharif Ibrahim Saleh’s Mosque in Maiduguri on Friday.
Reports say the event was made private to avoid public scrutiny while Zainab is expected to relocate to Abuja on Sunday.
