Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, on Thursday took Maryam Mairo Mustapha as his second wife.
TheCable reports that the 36-year-old lady has since travelled to Saudi Arabia for lesser hajj.
She left Nigeria after a private wedding ceremony in Kano.
The event was reportedly attended by only family members. No elaborate party was held.
Maryam attended Federal Government Girls College, Kazaure, Jigawa and graduated from Bayero University.
She was a volunteer for Buhari Support Organisations in the run-up to the general elections.
Tambuwal’s media aide, Imam Imam, reacting to the news said it is “a private matter.”
