PHOTOs of Buhari, alleged wife, as Presidency denies report

The social media has been perturbed by the rumour of Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari allegedly preparing to marry a new wife.

The supposed new wife was also alleged to be the minister (Sadiya Umar Farouq) of the newly created ministry, Ministry of Humanitarian AffairsDisaster Management.

Presidency on Friday has however dismissed the report.

A news media that reported this is quoted;

A source in the Presidency has dismissed reports on social media that President Muhammadu Buhari will be marrying a second wife on Friday, 11 October in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.

The stories that started as a nonsensical joke, soon started generating some attention on social with different hashtags for the fake wedding trending between number one and five on Twitter.

#BUSA19, #BUSA2019, #TheWedding and Villa are some of the keywords that have been used loosely on Twitter to describe the purported wedding.

Many Nigerians have since realised it is a joke and fake news with most them making fun of it.

A source in the Presidency that spoke to Chronicle NG described the rumour as laughable, stressing that, there is no wedding taking place at the Villa.

The source told this newspaper that it is a fabrication that got out of hand and has become a big joke.

Also in a similar development, Sadiya Umar Farouq is in New York Friday according to thecable report, promoting a UN campaign against poverty.

In a tweet, the minister, supposedly getting married to Buhari on Friday, canvassed for active participation of citizens in ending poverty.

“On October 17, join us as we #WalkOutPoverty. The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty is commemorated to encourage active participation by all to respect the rights & dignity of people living in poverty.#WalkOutPoverty#EndPoverty#Children @ossap_sdgs,” the tweet read.
