President Buhari is allegedly having a second thought about his 21 - year- old daughter , Zahra’ s wedding to billionaire Indimi .
The news of the wedding has been in the news recently following images of her expensive wedding gifts from her soon - to- be husband, and this allegedly didn’ t go down well with the president . Read according to Daily Correspondents below …
“ The wedding ceremony of Zahra , daughter of Nigeria’ s president Buhari to son of billionaire businessman , Mohammed Indimi, scheduled for December 4 , 2016 , has been put on hold indefinitely , Daily Correspondents can authoritatively reveal .
The postponement , Daily Correspondents learned , was on the insistence of President Muhammadu Buhari , who , according to a source close to the two families , was uncomfortable with the attention his daughter ’ s wedding has received in the media , particularly with news of customised wedding boxes as gifts to Zahra costing a whopping N44 m.
An introduction ceremony between both families had earlier held at the Aso Villa , Abuja on Friday , November 18 , but the wedding programme itself scheduled between Wednesday 30 th November and Sunday 4 th December, 2016 , is supposed to be on a low -key celebration as the President desires it to be a simple and an intimate ceremony to be attended by only close family and friends.
“ But the whole media attention has changed everything now and the President is not happy, ” our source said .
Aside that , it was also gathered that the President who has ordered that a security check be conducted on Ahmed and his source of stupendous wealth , is also not comfortable with the groom’ s father, Alhaji Mohammed Indimi’ s perceived closeness to ex -President Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida , IBB .
Former President Ibrahim Babangida is believed to be a long time godfather of billionaire Mohammed Indimi, more so the former President was against the emergence of Buhari in 2015 .
Our source further said President Buhari who had such information at his disposal before consenting to the marriage may have been prevailed upon by his closest political allies to have a rethink on giving out his daughter to the Indimi’ s .
It is however “ very unlikely that President Buhari may give his go ahead for the wedding in the near future , ” our source concluded.
