Power Couple! Baba-Datti Heiress Weds Dangote Billionaire's Son in Abuja's Glitziest Nuptials

Love isn't the only thing in the air in Abuja this Friday! In a marriage that fuses political pedigree with immense industrial wealth, the families of two Nigerian giants have been united. Tasnim Baba-Ahmed, the daughter of Labour Party vice-presidential candidate Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, has married Sani Dangote Jr., the son of the late business magnate Sani Dangote.

The union was formally sealed today, December 12, 2025, in a glittering wedding ceremony at the Sultan Sa'ad Mosque within the grounds of Baze University, Abuja.

The Guest List: A Who's Who of Nigeria

The reception that followed was a spectacle of Nigeria's elite. The event drew top-tier attendees from across the nation's political and corporate world. Star guest of the day was Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential flagbearer for the Labour Party and Baba-Ahmed's former running mate, whose presence highlighted the political significance of the gathering.


Adding to the corporate firepower was none other than Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote, who was there to celebrate his nephew's wedding. The high society guest list was further graced by three daughters of former President Muhammadu Buhari: Zahra, Noor, and Halima, who attended the pre-wedding festivities earlier in the week.

The Happy Couple: A Union of Privilege and Promise

The bride, Tasnim Baba-Ahmed, is a recent graduate of Reading University in the United Kingdom, having completed her studies last year. Her groom, Sani Dangote Jr., stands as a successor to the vast business empire of the late Sani Dangote, a titan of Nigerian industry.

This wedding is far more than a simple celebration; it's a powerful symbol of the merging of two of Nigeria's most influential families. It creates a fascinating new nexus where political ambition and unparalleled business wealth intersect, making it the definitive society event of the season.

Prominent Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has accused unnamed foreign nations of supporting terrorist groups in Nigeria, citing a sudden reversal of security gains in recent months as evidence of external interference. In a significant and provocative claim, Nigerian Islamic scholar Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has alleged that international actors are providing backing to terrorists operating within the country. During an interview with the BBC Hausa Service, Sheikh Gumi pointed to deteriorating security in areas that had shown marked improvement. He specifically highlighted the Abuja-Kaduna highway, which had become safer for travelers, and the farmlands around Birnin Gwari in Kaduna State, where farmers had cautiously returned to their fields after years of abandonment. "The situation on the ground contradicts earlier signs of improvement," Gumi stated, arguing that the recent surge in attacks suggests renewed support for armed groups. "This sudden rever...
