A son of former Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar has tied the knot with his Ghanaian fiancee.

The ceremony took place in Ghana today and was attended by some of Africa’s ‘big men and women’ including the overlord of the Ashanti Kingdom Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

An elated father, who served as Vice president of the West African country from 1999-2007, took to his official Twitter account to make public the news.
