In the statement, Mariya who has been married to the governor for over two decades said she had an inkling on how his future was going to be when he was courting her because of the way he analyses issues.
she said " When I first met Aminu, I came to realize apart from his handsome looks, that he’s an ambitious and determine lawyer. The way he analyses issues then, ranging from politics to societal issues, gave me a hint on Aminu’s future Journey in politics."
Mariya recounted their journey into politics she said "Five years after our marriage, Aminu’s journey in the National Assembly started as an Aide to the then Senate Leader, Senator Abdallah Wali. His work at the assembly made him close to his colleagues, senators and some members of the House of Representatives. Aminu used that opportunity to help people of his constituency, and by early 2002, there were calls by people for him to contest for House of Representatives. "
She also stated that their daughter Ummi who recently got married coincided with their own anniversary.
"Ummi’s wedding was a double joy for us, but few people know that. The day our first daughter got married to the person she love corresponds with the same day we got married in 1994. As faith will have it, we got married on the 31st of December, 1994, and our daughter also got married on the same date 22 years after. This is an indication that our partnership yielded a positive and fruitful result" she explained.
