Princess Zahra, second daughter of Nasir Ado Bayero, the Emir of Bichi in Kano State, came into limelight just few weeks back when she was unmasked as the fiancé of President Muhammadu Buhari’s son, Yusuf. Ferdinand Ekechukwu digs into the background of this cute and quiet princess
She is 19-year-old, naturally preened and pristine. That is Princess Zahra Ado-Bayero, second daughter of the Emir of Bichi in Kano State, Alhaji Nasir Ado Bayero. Zahra, the soon-to-be bride to Yusuf Buhari, son of Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari, is the Kano Princess who has ensnared the heart of Yusuf, the president’s only male child. High society is fixated already on this maiden whose wedding preparations have started in earnest.
Not surprising, the blogosphere is on their trail to mill whatever bit of information available. Such was it that a recent picture of the Architecture graduate went viral shortly after being spotted quietly hanging out with her friends and sisters at an unnamed location.
Zahra studied Architecture at Brighton University in the United Kingdom.
Going by the tradition in Northern Nigeria, the groom’s family recently delivered boxes diamond and gold jewelry, cash, underwear, among other items known as Kayan Lefe to the bride to the delight of her mother, Farida Imam, the daughter of famous Kano educationist, Mai Abubakar Imam.
Zahra and Yusuf will tie the knot on the 20th of August, 2021 in Kano.
As her big day draws closer, a high-powered Presidential delegation visited the Emir of Kano’s palace few weeks ago where talks about the royal wedding were held. Pictures from that important visitation trended. The delegation to the palace was led by the Jigawa State Governor, Abubakar Badaru on Sunday, June 27, alongside other governors and top government official including the Attorney-General and the Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami SAN.
They were hosted by the Emir of Kano, who is the brother of the bride’s father, Emir of Bichi.
This necessitated a 145-man committee inaugurated to facilitate a hitch-free wedding Fatiha between Zahra and Yusuf. The committee members were charged to use their wealth of experience to ensure a befitting royal wedding.
The young lovers, Yusuf and Zahra met in the United Kingdom, where they both had their undergraduate studies. Yusuf graduated from the University of Surrey, Guildford, in 2016 alongside her sister, Zahra, now Zahra Indimi.
