Former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso has described
Idris Ajimobi and Fateema Ganduje as 'zawarawa' meaning non-virtuous
couple. Governor Ganduje over the weekend gave the hand of his daughter,
Fateema, in marriage to Idris, the son of Oyo State governor, Abiola
Ajimobi.
The elaborate three-day wedding ceremonies had in
attendance, President Buhari, APC National leader, BolaTinubu, 22 State
governors, among many others.
Addressing his supporters in Kaduna on Saturday, Kwankwaso
mocked the couple, saying they are ‘zawarawa’, contextually meaning
non-virtuous couple.
“Only few people are happy with the marriage of a single zawarawa because they are just one. We heard the eastern, the western, the southern and the northern entry points to Kano are all shut for the marriage of a single ‘zawarawa’ couple.“This shows a sharp departure from the Kwankwasiyya ideology in Kano State. Today, Kano was at a standstill because of this marriage,” the former governor said.
He also said the dignitaries who left their workplaces to attend the wedding are “less busy”.
“We also heard a lot of people from other places that are less busy have abandoned their duties to attend the wedding. I also heard this event involving a single couple has made lot of people doing their legitimate businesses remain indoors.
“All these show difference between honesty and dishonesty, between light and darkness, between mass wedding of a thousand couple and that of a single couple,” he added.
