Politics › Again, Zahra Buhari's Wedding Shifted Forward, Presidency Plans Media Blackout by bamideleafolabi(op): 1:22pm On Nov 30, 2016 |
i AGAIN ZAHRA BUHARI'S WEDDING MOVED FORWARD, SEE NEW DATE AS PRESIDENCY PLANS TOTAL MEDIA BLACKOUT
For the second time, the wedding of Zahra Buhari, the President’s daughter has been moved forward.
According to the latest reports, the wedding has now been moved to 16th December, 2016.
Though sources did not tell us the reasons behind the new postponement, it is believed to be at the behest of the family of the bride who believe that everything should be done according to their own beliefs and I’m their own terms.
Abujareporters gathered that the new date is Sacrosant and would not be changed again.
In all, the Presidency is said to be wary of any negative media attention that could arise from the wedding programmes rather than the wedding itself and it is this that has become an issue in the circles of the very few that have been saddled with the task of putting the event together.
Indeed, left for the President, Zahra, after the wedding Fatiha should just go to her husband’s house, but the two families are not comfortable with this at all. And they are willing to do anything to ensure that the event is well-celebrated. This is more so that Zahra herself, who is close to her father has made him to realise that whatever he needs to do it whatever measures they need to put in place, she would abide by it just to ensure that the event is well-celebrated. Sources gathered that fifth columnists and spoilers have continued to raise alarm over ostentatious display of wealth, offensively profane things that could happen and the damage that such could do to the President’s political and social status and this has been a major problem.
Based on this, it was decided that the event would be essentially a family affair with little or no outside components.
As at this morning, whether or not all the four parties earlier arranged would still take place was still being discussed.
Recall that the President’s wife, Aisha who is the mother of the bride was supposed to hold a party at the Banquet hall of the Presidential Villa before another one organised by the wife of the Senate President and finally the last party to be hosted by the groom’s family, all in Abuja before another one in Maiduguri.
One new feature of the plans now is that no cameras would be allowed at the venues of the events. Phones would also not be allowed. This, we gathered, is a fallout of the 54million NAIRA Louis Vuitton bags issue which had given some people sleepless nights in the Villa.
While all these measures are coming from the bride’s family, on the groom’s side, there have been no murmurs as they wait batedly to have their cherished prize.

Politics › Zahra Buhari's Wedding Postponed By A Week, The Politics Of A Quiet Wedding by bamideleafolabi(op): 6:14am On Nov 27, 2016 |
It is no longer news that Zahra Buhari, the pretty daughter of the President was scheduled to wed in the next couple of days with the wedding programme starting on Tuesday 30th of November.
The plans have however been altered according to the latest reports originating from the family. Independent sources also confirmed this.
According to our sources, the wedding Fatiha has now been scheduled for 9th December, 2016. This implies that it has been moved forward by a week.
The reason given for shifting of the wedding is that there is a State visit from a prominent monarch to Nigeria on the day earlier slated for the wedding fatiha and having insisted that he wants to be there at the wedding, the President's views and position has to be respected.
Meanwhile, we have confirmed that apart from the wedding Fatiha, four other activities are lined up with three of them in Abuja.
These include a dinner by the wife of the President, Aisha Buhari which is to kick-start the whole programme in Abuja. The dinner has been slated for the Banquet hall of the State House. After the dinner comes another dinner by the wife of the Senate President and the last one by the family of the bride. For security reasons, we have been warned keep the other venues as well as dates and times off the media.
Abujareporters also learnt that the wedding continues to be a hush hush thing because the powerful forces in the Villa wanted it kept as a total secret until we broke the ice.
Indeed, up till date, wedding invitation cards are yet to be sent out despite the fact that ASO Ebi has been purchased. It is as bad as that, our sources confirmed.
Because of the President's averse to having a wedding that becomes a major issue in the media, no information is being sent out.
Moreover the hawks in the Presidency who want to get back at the wife of the President over her outbursts in the interview with BBC weeks back have also seen an opportunity for them to clip her wings and ensure that what would have come in terms of support from outside of the Villa do not come.
Ordinarily, our source said that she would have bee receiving visitors and goodwill messages by now and such goodwill would have translated into billions of Naira for her daughter's wedding.
The hawks were quick to point out that it would be bad publicity for the President if the formal announcement is made now and such things happen hence, they must keep the wedding as secret as possible till the last minute.
Imagine if abujareporters had not broken the story, Nigerians would not have heard anything until the pre-wedding dinner, our source added.
Right now preparations are in top gear in Maiduguri as the groom's family get set to receive he President's daughter as the new addition to the family.
We gathered that apart from the Wushe Wushe night scheduled for there, the bride is also expected to be there for two weeks after the wedding. Source: http://abujareporters.com.ng/breaking-news-zahra-buhari-s-wedding-postponed-by-a-week-the-politics-of-a-quiet-wedding-celebration/

Politics › Zahra Buhari's Wedding Plans Unveiled, As President Meets Ahmed Indimi by bamideleafolabi(op): 7:30pm On Nov 22, 2016 |
BREAKING : ZAHRA BUHARI'S WEDDING PLANS OUT AS THE PRESIDENT MEETS HIS FUTURE SON-IN-LAW, AHMED INDIMI
There are some things you just canmot take away from the President. Maybe because of his age, but it is likely because of experience and training. Buhari is finicky. He takes pain to look at details at times. And so he met his would be son-in-law, Ahmed Indimi. Buhari according to reports reaching us, met with the young man in the Presidential Villa yesterday evening. He was said to have asked him a few questions especially about his finances as well as his social pedigree. At the end of it all, sources gathered that the President was not too impressed with what he learnt from the young man. He has reasons to be afraid. Ahmed Indimi's businesses has not been doing too well and some insiders close to him swore that that was one of the reasons he wanted the wedding to take place as early as late November before the First family insisted that it had to take place a week later. One major issue about the wedding which would perhaps have jolted the President was the fact that the two young people who want to wed hardly know each other.
Indeed, they met for the first time about a month ago. The President abujareporters reliably gathered, paused for a long while even as he was confronted with this fact, which further heightened his fears. Meanwhile the wedding plans have been rolled out. Sources close to the couple told abujareporters that the wedding Fatiha will take place at the Central Mosque in Abuja on 2nd of November unlike Zahra's half sister's wedding that took place in Katsina. The events heralding the wedding will however Start as from 30th and would last till 5th December. We shall keep you posted.

Romance › Buhari's Daughter, Zahra Set To Wed Maiduguri Billionaire's Son Ahmed Indimi by bamideleafolabi(op): 4:02pm On Nov 20, 2016 |
BREAKING: BUHARI'S DAUGHTER , ZAHRA SET TO WED MANIDUGURI BILLIONAIRE'S SON, AHMED INDIMI
In what appears to be a major drama in the family of President Muhammadu Buhari, his daughter Zahra is set to wed just a few weeks after another one wedded.
According to reports reaching abujareporters.com.ng. Zahra BUHARI is set to wed AHMED INDIMI, AON of Maiduguri oil Baron and billiionaire Mohammed INDIMI.
The wedding has been slated for 2nd of December 2016.
It is believed that as usual, the President would try to make the occasion a hush hush affair given the fact that he has worn for himself the garment of an austere President but this will definitely not remove from the fact that the young lady is marrying into a billionaire family though with its own asides.
Ahmed attended Global International College in Lagos for his degree foundation program. Ahmed completed his Degree in Information Technology at the American InterContinental University, in Atlanta, USA. He proceeded to complete an MBA in Internet Security at the same Institution where he served as the treasurer of the Student Union Government at the London Campus.
He is the head of Crude Oil marketing in his father's company. He became controversial a few years back when he consciously displayed his account balance revealing a little under one hundred million dollars.
