After
all the ‘news-frenzy’ which went around for a couple of days about the wedding
of Zahra, daughter of President
Muhammadu Buhari ‘holding or not holding’, reports now as gathered from
Thisdaylive have it that come Sunday
December 11 2016, Ahmed Indimi, the proposed groom and son of oil magnate, Mohammed Indimi will be
able to marry his sweetheart, Zahra and take her home as bride as the coast is now clear for the
marriage rites to take place.
It
would be recalled that their highly publicised wedding which was slated for
December 4 was deferred following a disagreement between Ahmed’s sister, Yataka
Indimi, and security officials at the Presidential Villa on November 18 during
the traditional introduction ceremony. Trouble started when Yakata insisted on
taking her mobile phone into the Presidential Villa with a view to recording
all the proceedings contrary to security protocol. The proceedings included the
delivery of customized dowry boxes made by the French luxury brand, Louis
Vuitton, valued at N44 million (using the official exchange rate) to the bride
and the first family.
It
was gathered that the disagreements led to almost physical exchange between the
groom’s sister and Presidential Villa security officials was so embarrassing
that it incurred the wrath of the president over the behaviour of the Indimis.
The President was said to have threatened to return the boxes and stop the
marriage ceremony. Even though he was prevailed upon not to make good his
threat to return the boxes, the event scheduled to climax on Sunday, December 4
was deferred.The two families however met after the incident and resolved the
issue.
Meanwhile,
one of Indimi’s daughters is married to former military President Ibrahim
Babangida’s son, Mohammed. This next weekend’s wedding ceremony involving the
Buharis will be the second that the Indimis are having with a family that has
risen to the highest political office in Nigeria.
