Governor Abiola Ajimobi clan including the first lady, their daughters and a few northern First Ladies last weekend performed 'thousand dollars' worth Lefe ceremony for the bride (Fatima Ganduje) at the Kano State Government House.

This is part of the wedding arrangement between Fatima, daughter of Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State, and Idris, the only son of Oyo State’s Governor Abiola Ajimobi.

Premium Times reported that the couple had their introduction ceremony in November 2017 shortly after they went public with their relationship on Instagram in September.

The Lefe is the Hausa customs whereby the groom’s family buys all sorts of gifts ranging from jewellery to clothes, wrappers, underwear, cosmetics etc for the bride.

It was a display of class and wealth when the bride-to-be received 27 customised Louis Vuitton travel boxes from her in-laws.

While the contents of the LV boxes cannot be ascertained, each designer travel bag is estimated to cost about five thousand dollars.

Dressed in fushcia pink aso-ebi, the Ajimobis set the government house aglow with their fashionable clothes and accessories.

Traditional music dancers from Ibadan were at hand to entertain guests, who were present.
