I am in Nassarawa for an installation ceremony not in Kano for a wedding Eleguishi

There has been a media frenzy over the wedding ceremony, allegedly holding between Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi, Elegushi of Ikate Kingdom and a new bride.

Ordinarily, a wedding ceremony should be a private affair of two consenting adults and families, we however understand the media monitoring of important personalities, which Oba Elegushi is not an exception.

However, we want to appeal to our friends in the media to exercise restrain in the reportage of this private event.

For the avoidance of doubt, Oba Elegushi is in Lafia, Nassarawa State, attending the coronation of the New Emir of Lafia, Hon. Justice Sidi Bage, JSC (rtd).

He is not attending any wedding fathia in any part of the country at this time.

We thank you for your understanding.
