An elder statesman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano and Special Adviser to the Deputy Senate President, Hamza Darma, has described the high-profile attendance at the wedding of Senator Barau I.

The wedding, held on Friday at the National Mosque in Abuja, was a significant event that attracted top government officials, traditional rulers, and influential figures. Senator Barau’s son, Jibrin Barau I. Jibrin (Abba), married Maryam Nasir Ado Bayero, while his daughter, Aisha Barau I. Jibrin, tied the knot with Engineer Abubakar Abdulmunaf Yunusa Sarina.

Among the dignitaries in attendance were President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt Hon Tajudeen Abbas, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the APC National Chairman, governors, senators, ministers, business leaders, and traditional and religious leaders, among others.

Hamza Darma emphasized that the wedding was not just a family celebration but also a demonstration of Senator Barau’s commitment to unity and the ties that bind the Nigerian people.

“The presence of dignitaries cutting across political affiliations, traditional institutions, and business circles shows that Senator Barau is a bridge-builder. He is respected by leaders and loved by the masses.”

He also noted the overwhelming turnout of constituents from Kano North, who traveled to Abuja to witness the event, further illustrating the grassroots support Senator Barau enjoys.

The event showcased Senator Barau’s ability to unite leaders from diverse backgrounds, reinforcing his role as a pivotal figure in Nigeria’s sociopolitical landscape.

“The gathering was a testament to the unity and love that Senator Barau embodies, as well as his enduring relationships with leaders across all sectors,” Darma concluded.

The grand occasion not only marked a significant milestone for the Barau family but also highlighted the Deputy Senate President’s stature as a leader who champions unity, collaboration, and progress for the nation.
