It is yet a hush-hush affair but those close to the family of the influential Senate President, Bukola Saraki, are swearing by everything they hold sacred that plans are already at fever pitch for the wedding of their first daughter, Tosin.
Tosin is the first of the four children of Bukola and Toyin Saraki. She clocked 25 last December. While her father wanted a glamorous destination wedding, Tosin has reportedly kicked, preferring to have it in Nigeria. She might have had her way on the choice of location, the young lady would have no say, given the background of her parents and grandparents, in the grandness of the wedding. Tosin’s mother, Toyin, is the daughter of boardroom guru and businessman of note, Otunba Adekunle and Erelu Ojuolape Ojora.
For the past six decades, the Ojoras have been a looming and respected fixture on Nigeria’s high society. And they are not retired from attending or throwing parties that remain indelible. Tosin’s father is Bukola, the silverspoon son of Oloye Olusola Saraki, former Senate Leader in the Second Republic, and until his death, the deciding factor in Kwara State politics. Also a two-term governor of Kwara State, Bukola is the third most powerful politician in today’s Nigeria.
