The postponed wedding ceremony of President Muhammad Buhari’s daughter Zahra to oil tycoon, Ahmed Indimi, has been re-scheduled for December 16, 2016, a close family source has confirmed
The source disclosed that President Muhammad Buhari has agreed to the new date after persuasion from friends and family.
“The wedding will hold on the new date as approved by the president. The two families have agreed to the new date. I am not sure there will be any postponement on this occasion,” the source said.
Another source further noted that the president was uncomfortable with the media attention the wedding generated.
According to this source, “The president wants a low-key wedding for his daughter. He was not comfortable with the type of stories that were published about the wedding, especially on the money spent or gifts given to his daughter. The country is in a period of recession and it will be unfair for media to be quoting millions for the wedding of the president’s daughter,”
The source further stated that the Indimi family agreed to keep publicity regarding the wedding to the barest minimum
“The Indimis have deleted every post about the wedding on their social media platforms. Zahra and her husband-to-be are also not posting anything about it for now,” he added.
Zahra Buhari also drove the point home with a post on her Instagram page which read “Travel and tell no one, live a true love story and tell no one, live happily and tell no one, people ruin beautiful things.” – Khalil Gibran
