THE Gambian President, Alhaji Sheikh Prof. Dr. Yahaya Abdul Aziz Jamus
Junkung Jammeh, reportedly tied the knot with a 22-year-old charming
Ghanaian lady in
Kumasi last weekend.Mrs. Nora Jammeh, formerly called Munira Yahaya, a graduate of Sunyani Polytechnic, was engaged to the Gambian president two weeks ago in The Gambia, which was followed by the secret wedding at the Golden Tulip Hotel in Kumasi last Sunday.
The Gambian president was not present at the function but was represented by H.E. Huseini Yaba, the Gambian Ambassador to Nigeria, who has oversight responsibilities in Ghana.
Three leading officials of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration, whose names are being withheld, reportedly played vital roles in the organization of the successful wedding ceremony.
The wedding was low key because the Gambian president did not want the media to make so much noise about him and his pretty-looking bride.
But the matter, which had been kept secret for almost 48 hours, finally found its way to the public domain on Tuesday morning, following investigations by Omanhene Yaw Adu Boakye, Morning Show Host of Kessben FM in Kumasi.
When Omanhene asked Munira whether she had personally met her husband President Yahaya Jammeh, she replied that they met in the Gambian about two weeks ago when they had their engagement ceremony.
On whether she would further her education now that she had got married to the Gambian president, Mrs. Jammeh said plans had been made in advance for her to continue her education in the USA soon.
Meanwhile, information making the rounds in Kumasi indicated that President Jammeh when he was serving as a soldier, offered help to the mother of his new wife, who was then a Ghanaian living in the Gambia.
Nora Jammeh’s mother was so touched by the benevolence of the Gambian leader that she promised to give her pretty daughter in Ghana in marriage to him when the little girl became ripe for marriage.
Nora’s mother since then kept constant touch with President Jammeh and she finally kept her promise by offering her beautiful daughter to the Gambian leader in marriage this year.
The latest marriage was the fourth for the Gambian leader who recently executed nine people on death row in his country.
