The wedding took place at the home of the bride’s elder brother, Mohammed Abacha, in Abuja.
The Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Customs Service, Hameed Ali, and the National Commissioner for Refugees, Migrants, and Internally Displaced Persons, Bashir Garba-Lado, were among those in attendance.
Others include Aminu Daurawa, a Kano-based Islamic cleric, and Yakubu Lado-DanMarke, a Katsina State governorship aspirant in the 2019 elections.
Mr Buni married his predecessor’s daughter, Adama Ibrahim-Gaidam, as his third wife in 2019.
Gumsu is now coming as the fourth wife to the governor.
The 45-year-old daughter of the late head of state was previously married to a Cameroonian multi-billionaire, Bayero Mohamadou. But the 20-year-old marriage crashed in 2020
