OsunDailyNG understands that this ceremony comes days after Atiku received a distinguished delegation at his residence in Asokoro yesterday.
The delegation, headed by Nasiru El-Rufai, the former Governor of Kaduna State, included family members of Kashim Imam, who came to formally seek the hand of Atiku’s daughter, Hafsat Atiku Abubakar, in marriage.
