Laila, the cherished daughter of Nigeria’s former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has sealed her love in a union with her beloved partner, Saleh Maitala.
The couple chose the sacred grounds of the national mosque in Abuja for their intimate ceremony, a gathering that brought together close family and friends to witness their vows.
The scene was nothing short of magical—Laila, a vision of elegance, was draped in a flowing gown intricately beaded, with a veil shimmering with pearls that caught the light with every step.
Her groom, Saleh, stood proudly beside her, exuding quiet confidence in a classic black Babban Riga and matching cap, embodying traditional sophistication.
Atiku Abubakar himself was a striking figure, dressed in pure white native attire, radiating pride and joy for his daughter’s milestone. Unable to contain his excitement, he took to his X page to share his elation with the world, blessing the newlyweds with heartfelt wishes for a lifetime filled with happiness and love.
He also extended his gratitude to the multitude of distinguished guests who graced the event with their presence, a testament to his enduring influence and respect within Nigeria’s socio-political sphere.
As the ceremony unfolded, videos and photos began circulating online, revealing a roster of prominent attendees who underscored the significance of the event.
Rabiu Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the 2023 elections; Umar Ganduje, ex-Kano governor; and former Kaduna governor Nasir el-Rufai were among the prominent persons who attended the event.
Others included Abdulsalami Abubakar; former head of state; Sule Lamido, former governor of Jigawa; and Iliya Dammagum, the acting national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
