According to unconfirmed reports, the president is uncomfortable about marriage plans between his daughter, Zahra and Ahmed Indimi, son of billionaire, Mohammed Indimi.
According to a source: “There are some things you just cannot 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 reportedly 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 have 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.
Another issue that is a source of concern for the president is the fact that Zahra and Ahmed hardly know each other, reports say that they indeed just met about a month ago.
Meanwhile, the wedding plans have been rolled out. Sources close to the couple told a correspondent that the wedding Fatiha will take place at the Central Mosque in Abuja on the 2nd of December, unlike Zahra’s half sister’s wedding that took place in Katsina.
The events heralding the wedding will however start as from 30th of November and would last till 5th December.
There is no official statement as regards the development from the Presidency nor Zahra Buhari’s camp.
