Dr Mustapha Inuwa, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Katsina State, has clarified why three serving governors under the ruling All Progressives congress (APC) showed up at his residence.
Inuwa revealed that the visit was a marriage delegation sent on behalf of Vice President Kashim Shettima.
He confirmed that Kaduna Governor Uba Sani, Katsina Governor Dikko Umaru Radda, and Zamfara Governor Dauda Lawal came to his home to formally request the hand of one of his daughters in marriage for a relative of the Vice President.
As reported by Daily Trust, the ADCchieftain made this known while speaking in an interview with JBC Hausa.
"They were sent by Vice President Kashim Shettima to seek the hand of one of my daughters in marriage. That was what brought them to my house. Even before then, we had known one another."
Marriage conducted on same day
According to the ADC chieftain, the proposal did not end with a simple introduction. A request was made during the visit for the nikah to be conducted immediately, and both families consented.
The couple were joined in marriage that same day.
"Fortunately, during the process, a request was made for the couple to be joined in marriage immediately, and we agreed. Both the bride and the groom are now married. That is what happened today. It has nothing to do with politics."
Political context surrounds APC governors' visit
Despite Inuwa's insistence that the visit was purely a matrimonial affair, the timing has drawn attention from political obseInuwa has recently emerged as a figure of significant interest to multiple parties following internal crisis within the ADC over the party's endorsement of consensus candidates.
The Katsina State Deputy Governor had previously paid a separate visit to his residence, and reports indicate that stakeholders within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have also been making overtures to the ADC chieftain in recent weeks.
Political analysts in the state believe the presence of three APC governors at the home of a prominent opposition figure carries implications that extend beyond what has been publicly stated, with many suggesting the full picture of the visit may only emerge in the days ahead.
