For wearing an anti-Islamic wedding dress, Nuhu Ribadu’s daughter has published an apology to the public.
The beautiful daughter of Nigeria’s pioneer RFCC chairman, Fatima, wore the dress described by many as exposing too much of her skin, a practice that is not accepted by Islam.
Islam abhors women exposing their inner bodies and it is the religion practiced by her family and that of Atiku Abubakar..
A Northern politician, Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed.@baba_hakeem who is also a Muslim condemned the outfit in very strong terms saying that it was “unbecoming of her faith and her culture.”. According to him,
“Today I saw pictures of a Muslim bride dressed in a manner totally unbecoming of her faith and her culture.
“Fewer things have made me sadder.
“I appeal to our young people and us parents to stop aping cultures that are not ours. Please no names or insults in responses. Please.“
Fatima then took to her instagram page to post an apology for the perceived bad dress saying she did not mean it to go public as it was taken within the confines of her home.
She added that what was perceived as her exposed skin was actually a brown inner clothing material that was sewn to the actual dress.
Fatima got married to Aliyu Ribadu on Saturday, October 3rd, a union that took members of the public by surprise considering the marked political differences between their parents.
Both fathers were locked in serious disagreements after Ribadu indicted Atiku for fraud when he was Vice President and Ribadu reigned supreme as a fearless anti-corruption Tzar.
The wedding saw Nigeria’s who-is-who in attendance while the parents appear to have put their differences behind.
