The Governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf, and his political godfather, Rabiu Kwankwaso, on Friday, stood in as trustees for over 1,800 couples in a mass wedding that held simultaneously across the 44 local government areas of the state.
The mass wedding took place at 44 centres in the 44 local government areas, with Messrs Yusuf and Kwankwaso symbolically appearing as trustees for all the couples at a segment of the ceremony conducted at the palace of Emir of Kano where 300 couples were joined at a go.
The couples, who are mostly previously divorced, are members of the Kwankwasiyya – a political movement founded by Mr Kwankwaso. They were selected by the state’s Hisbah board (moral police).
