Fatima, just-wedded daughter of the former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Nuhu Ribadu, has spoken on the way she dressed at the wedding and the criticism it attracted.
Although she is regretting wearing the gown that many see as unIslamic, she said she did not expose her body as many felt.
The wedding to a son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar held on Saturday, with a lot of dignitaries attending.
Here are Fatima’s words:
“I got married on Saturday 03/10/20 and some pictures of me that were taken inside our home got out and was shared on social media,”
“This is an action which I sincerely regret. I apologize to my friends and family for this mistake and want to sincerely thank each and everyone that has risen to my defense,”
“My under dress, which was brownish was mistaken for being my skin and exposing my body. I will never do such,”
“However, I accept responsibility for causing my family and wellwishers this dismay and will learn froom this going forward.”
