Buhari’s Granddaughter, Halima Amira Junaid, to Wed Walid Shehu Mauzu in Kaduna

Joy and celebration are set to light up Kaduna as Halima Amira Junaid, granddaughter of Nigeria’s former President, Muhammadu Buhari, prepares to tie the knot with her fiancé, Walid Shehu Mauzu.

The highly anticipated wedding fatiha is scheduled to take place on August 30, 2025, and is expected to draw dignitaries, family, and well-wishers from across the country.

Halima is the daughter of Nana Hadiza Buhari, who married former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), a few years ago. Hadiza—Buhari’s daughter from a previous marriage—was once married to Captain Junaid Abdullahi, with whom she has six children.

Now, her daughter, Halima, is about to embark on her own marital journey, and the news has been met with excitement by family circles and well-wishers.

Opinion: A Marriage that Reflects Tradition and Continuity

In a society where family legacies often carry deep meaning, Halima’s marriage is more than just a union between two young people—it symbolizes continuity, tradition, and the blending of prominent families.

It is always refreshing to see that despite political status or public attention, children and grandchildren of Nigeria’s most influential figures still walk the same path of love and tradition as everyone else. Weddings like this remind us that beyond politics, titles, and power, family remains the true foundation of life.

For many Nigerians, especially the younger generation, Halima’s wedding is a picture of hope—that love still thrives, and that the essence of marriage lies not in wealth or position, but in companionship and shared values.

As the families prepare for this joyful occasion, one can only wish the couple a marriage filled with peace, respect, and lasting happiness—a reminder that even the most powerful families are bound by the same human desires: love and togetherness.
