He does not have any tendency for undue publicity. Young and brainy, Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin represents the Kiru/Bebeji Federal constituency, Kano State, at the House of Representatives. Also, the chairman, House committee on finance, he is in a jolly mood currently. Penultimate week, he pulled all the stops in Kebbi State and Abuja when he married former Maryam Augie.
Before noon, guests, who were mostly celebrities, thronged the Emir’s palace in Argungu, Kebbi State to witness the first leg of the wedding. For Justice Amina Augie, the bride’s mother, it was a twin celebration because the wedding day was also Maryam’s birthday.
A dinner was held later in Abuja where politicians, captains of industry and friends of the couple were treated to a sumptuous feast. It almost turned a carnival of sort with the performance of comedians and artistes which included Banky W and Waje.
A black-tie party is said to be coming up in December in Abuja. The couple, who attended Ivy-league schools, is honeymooning currently but the wedding will be much-talked-about for a while on the social radar.
