Two of my children officially got married at the National Mosque, Abuja, this afternoon. It gave me immense pleasure.

By the hands of my close associates and friend, General Aliyu Gusau, my daughter Hafsat was given in marriage to her spouse, Umar Farouk Imam.

My son Abubakar Atiku Jnr took his bride, Asma'u Abdul'aziz Nyako, through my friend Alhaji Kwairanga Jada.

I have no doubt that these marriages will further strengthen the longstanding family ties established with my older brother, Admiral Murtala Nyako, and my friend, Kashim Ibrahim Imam.

I am thankful to all guests who graced the occasion and supported to make this day a reality.

I congratulate my children and their spouses and wish them a happy marriage. -AA
