Buhari’s delegation is expected to stay back after the wedding to represent him at the coronation of the emir at Bichi.

In March, Yusuf’s family members had visited the family of Ado Bayero to seek the marriage of Zahra.

The lovebirds were said to have met in the UK where the president’s son finished his undergraduate studies.
