Halima Amira Junaid, the granddaughter of Nigeria’s former President Muhammadu Buhari, is preparing to walk down the aisle as she gets set to marry Walid Shehu Mauzu in an upcoming ceremony scheduled to take place in Kaduna State.

The forthcoming wedding has already sparked excitement among family, friends, and well-wishers, as the bride-to-be hails from one of Nigeria’s most prominent political families.

Halima is the daughter of Nana Hadiza, one of President Buhari’s daughters from an earlier marriage. Hadiza made headlines in 2022 when she married Abubakar Malami (SAN), Nigeria’s former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, becoming his third wife. Before her marriage to Malami, Hadiza was married to Captain Junaid Abdullahi, with whom she shares six children, including Halima.

Although details of the wedding ceremony are still under wraps, sources close to the family reveal that the event will be a high-profile affair, expected to draw dignitaries from across Nigeria’s political and social elite.

The groom, Walid Shehu Mauzu, is reportedly from a respected Northern Nigerian family, though little public information is currently available about his background.

As preparations are underway, the union marks a continuation of the long-standing tradition of alliances among prominent families in Northern Nigeria. It also reflects the close-knit nature of political and social networks in the country’s elite circles.

This wedding is expected to attract national attention, not only because of the bride’s lineage but also due to the high-profile connections both families maintain in government and legal circles.

More details on the wedding date, venue, and guest list are expected to emerge in the coming days.
