The participation of Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi at the wedding of Amir, the son of Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, has been cited by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, as a symbol of a united Nigeria.

Speaking after the occasion in Kano on Friday, Akpabio said that the fact that so many well-known persons attended the wedding proves that Senator Barau is a peaceful man of the people.

“You can see that even Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi and his people are here; this tells you that Nigeria will remain united as one entity,” he said.

The wedding Fatiha, graced by Vice President Kashim Shettima, was between Amir and Bilkisu Aliyu Sani Madaki, the daughter of the Deputy Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Aliyu Sani Madaki.
