Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State and the bride, Hajiya Maria at a dinner after their wedding in Ikoyi, Lagos
Bala Mohammed, governor of Bauchi state, has tied the knot with Natasha
Mariana, a Lebanese-Nigerian woman, in a stunning wedding ceremony in
Lagos.
The lavish ceremony held at the Syrian mosque in Ikoyi, on Friday.
It attracted a plethora of political figures and bigwigs within and
across the confines of the country’s upper echelon of power. Others were
academicians, clerics, family and friends of the state executive.
Mariana becomes the second wife of the governor, who is already married with children.
Mohammed, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was declared
winner of the Bauchi state governorship election in March 2019.
The 60-year-old former senator defeated Mohammed Abubakar, candidate of
the All Progressives Congress (APC) and incumbent governor.
