It seems that one more daughter of Atiku Abubakar is going to marry, as their proud father has shared happy news on his Twitter account on Wednesday, July 28.
A Nigerian politician, businessman, philanthropist, and father of many children, has taken to Twitter where he wrote: “Tradition! DIG Nuhu Aliyu led Gov Abubakar Sani Bello’s delegation to ask the hand of my daughter in marriage.”
He later added: “In the old times, I would have had to pretend I’m a mean father, and not smile. Haha, too happy to not smile.”
Well, the name of the bride-to-be is yet unknown…
Nuhu Aliyu Labbo is a Nigerian politician elected to the Senate for the Niger North constituency of Niger State in 1999 and was reelected in 2003 and 2007
Atiku Abubakar: marriages and family
While at Idi-Iroko Atiku Abubakar met 19-year-old Titilayo Albert, who he secretly married in December 1971, in Lagos, because her family was initially opposed to the union. On 26 October 1972, Titilayo (affectionately called ‘Titi’) delivered a baby girl they named Fatima. She later gave birth to Adamu, Halima and Aminu.

In January 1979 he married Ladi Yakubu as his second wife. “I wanted to expand the Abubakar family. I felt extremely lonely as a child. I had no brother and no sister. I did not want my children to be as lonely as I was. This is why I married more than one wife. My wives are my sisters, my friends, and my advisers and they complement one another,” Abubakar has said. He has six children with Ladi: Abba, Atiku, Zainab, Ummi-Hauwa, Maryam and Rukayatu.
In 1983 he married his third wife, Princess Rukaiyatu, daughter of the late Lamido of Adamawa. She gave birth to AIsha, Hadiza, Aliyu (named after her late father), Asmau, Mustafa, Laila and Abdulsalam. His fourth wife, Fatima Shettima, followed in 1986. Fatima gave birth to her first child Amina (Meena), Mohammed and two sets of twins Ahmed and Shehu, Zainab and Aisha then her last daughter Hafsat.
Abubakar later divorced Ladi, allowing him to marry, as his fourth wife (the maximum permitted him as a Muslim), Jennifer Iwenjora, who then became Jamila Atiku-Abubakar. Jennifer gave birth to Abdulmalik, Zara and his youngest child, Faisal.
