Former Speaker Bankole to wed Aisha, Atiku’s daughter this Friday

A former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Dimeji Bankole is set to remarry.

Bankole will wed with Miss Aisha Shinkafi Saidu this weekend.
Miss Aisha is the daughter of the Governor of Kebbi State, Alhaji Atiku Bagudu.
Recall that Bankole had lost his first marriage four years ago over irreconcilable differences.
The bride, a lawyer and graduate of the University of Hull in the UK is a granddaughter of late political heavyweight and onetime head of Nigeria’s security organisation, Alhaji Umaru Shinkafi, Marafan Sokoto.
The bride’s mother, Hajiya Zainab Shinkafi Bagudu is Shinkafi’s daughter and a sister to the former Governor of Zamfara State, His Excellency Alhaji Aliyu Shinkafi.

A statement from the Bankole family of Iporo, Abeokuta disclosed that a quiet introduction between the two families had taken place a few weeks earlier to kick off the joining together, in line with Islamic and traditional injunctions.
