Bashir’s fiancée, Halima Nwakaego Kazaure  who also shared the photos on her page wrote;

“From total strangers in the dms, 3 years later. Seems like just yesterday. The only person that can tolerate my excesses and perfectionism. Although you drive me all the way up the wall because you are the complete opposite of who I am and I am such a control freak.”

Although the tribe of Bashir’s fiancée is yet to be ascertained, many Nigerians claim the marriage may be a plot to cajole Igbos to support Nasir El-rufai’s presidential candidacy in 2023 poll.

The Herald in 2019 reported that campaign posters for Adams Oshiomhole and Nasir El-Rufai’s surfaced in some northern states.

The posters  were circulated and sponsored by Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN).

Hmmmmm🙄😲😲😲. This might be another El-Rufai format to get vote from the south East, & perhaps south south. El-Rufai is a master planner. Anyway, congrats. I wish it’s real and you meant well.

I wish them a blissful married life, but even if all of them marry Igbo, the man will not win a ward in the SE. the SE does not forget, the SS does not forget, even the Southern part of his state has not forgotten.

@emekaja4055

Nice if u truly love her.

I just hope it ain’t a ploy for ur bigoted father’s political ambitions.

@aminu_78

It’s funny how Muslims think they can marry Christian ladies but it’s a haram for Christian men to even approach Muslim ladies.

Just know a true Christian lady won’t marry you. You probably met one who cares about money than her faith.

@OmideyiOlaide

She is probably a Fulani lady. The fact that he called her his ‘Nwakaego’ does not make her an Igbo lady. He is not your inlaw or your ‘in geography’

@Dave_Eze1

Never underestimate the El-Rufai’s Nwakaego is just a political bridge, regardless nice move Bashir👍

@Chugailx

May your marriage be as blissful as Buhari’s Nigeria. May it be as wonderful as Buhari has treated #EndSARS protesters in the last few weeks.

@ojeleyeopeyemi

Your Buhari Nigeria is different from his Buhari Nigeria. #takenote

@Ovie_22

A political marriage to deceive gullible Nigerians that they are a detribalised family. 🙄🙄🙄

@GodblessNG1

Ah Bashir marry from Igbo tribe. This is one of those unimaginable most unexpected turnarounds I’ve seen in a while o. She is beautiful alright but is this real? Ah Na wa o! Abi no be bashir be this ?
