The Governor of Zamfara State Abdulaziz Yari who was reported to
have gone extra miles in a desperate bid to persuade Muhammadu
Buhari to change his mind on his earlier objection to Yari's move
to marry his daughter Zahra, was said to have argued that the
President does not have the moral right to reject his overtures to
marry Zahra on account of age because Buhari is over 30years
older than Aisha
Yari was said to have argued following reports that, “The President
wants his daughter to marry someone not as old as Governor
Yari,”
According to a source who shares family relationship with
Governor Yari, he said the only stumbling block to Yari's marriage
to the President’s daughter is the President who was said to have
given a stern warning to his daughter to stay away from the
Governor.
The Zamfara State Governor according to sources close to the
presidency, has gone as far as dolling out gifts to the first lady and
other members of the Buhari family.
He is also alleged to have funded the First Lady’s recent Hajj trip
to Saudi Arabia with $1million.
As part of his moves, Yari enlisted the husband of Halima, elder
daughter of Buhari, showered him gifts including awarding him
contracts in Zamfara state to persuade the first family into
accepting his overtures to marry the President’s daughter who just
graduated from a British University.
