On Friday, Mr Kwankwaso and Governor Abba Yusuf acted as trustees for the newlyweds in a mass wedding that took place simultaneously across all 44 local government areas of the state.

As reported by Premium Times, 1,800 couples were initially scheduled to be married, and over 200 could not attend due to health reasons.

During the Saturday reception, Mr Kwankwaso, who also serves as the National Leader of the NNPP, emphasized that checking a partner’s phone significantly contributes to marital breakups and advised couples against doing so.

He said:

“You have been advised by all and sundry. I believe you have been advised a thousand times. Ulamas, parents, relatives and even business people have advised you on how to live peacefully with one another.
“But, I have one single (piece of) advice for you; that is checking spouses’ phones. Don’t peep (into) your spouses’ phones as that is the major cause of marriage breakup these days."
