With less than 24
hours to the much talked about wedding between President Mohammadu Buhari’s
21-year-old daughter, Zahra and billionaire’ son, Ahmed Indimi, presidential spokesperson,
Garba Shehu, has revealed how President Buhari rejected the food bill for the
august occasion.
In a series of
tweet Garba disclosed that funds used for the wedding are not from government
coffers.
He tweeted:
"Zahra Muhammadu
Buhari's wedding to Ahmed Mohammed Indimi starting today is a celebrity event
to savor any day.
Much as the family
wants to make their daughter happy they, however, will not make it a royal
wedding.
The President's
family is trying hard to keep it as simple as possible.
Wedding Lalle,
Fatiha, lunch event for the men & dinner for the women who must have come from
far and near & the bride heads to her husband!
In a rare twist, the
President asked to be given the bill for the food at the banquet. Government,
he said, has no business paying for that.
This should be
treated as private. His family and personal aides put the money together to
foot the bill.
No government money
in invitation cards, souvenirs or Aso-Ebi. That's essential Buhari for
you!!"
Meanwhile,
the First Lady has continued to post pre-wedding pictures of her daughter on
her twitter handle.
