Over the weekend, Kano played host to the family of the Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi as his wife, daughters and a few northern First Ladies for the Lefe ceremony.
Fatima Ganduje, daughter of Kano State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, and Idris Ajimobi son of Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi, are engaged and have had the introduction ceremony in November 2017.
The Lefe is the Hausa customs whereby the groom’s family buys all sorts of gifts ranging from jewellery to clothes, wrappers, underwear, cosmetics etc for the bride.
It was a display of class and wealthy when the bride-to-be received 27 customised Louis Vuitton travel boxes from her in-laws.
Each designer travel bag is estimated to cost about five thousand dollars.
Dressed in fushcia pink aso-ebi, the Ajimobis set the government house aglow with their fashionable clothes and accessories.
Traditional music dancers from Ibadan were at hand to entertain guests who were present.
The visiting groom’s family and other First Ladies visited the Emir of Kano, His Highness, Muhammad Sanusi 11, who has been playing major roles in the wedding ceremonies.
The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Sanusi Lamido and former governors including Niyi Adebayo, Adebayo Alao-Akala were also at the event.
However, it was learnt that,Fatima and Idris have been in love for a long time and have decided to make it real after receiving the blessings of their parents.
Recall that Abolaji Ajimobi, the only son of Oyo state governor, Abiola Ajimobi, took to Instagram recently to reveal that he was in a relationship with Fatima Ganduje, the daughter of Kano state governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
