Hours ago, presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu posted this message on his Facebook page, please read!
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 and
dinner for the women who must have come from far and near and the bride
heads to her husband!
In a twist from what was a norm amongst past leaders,
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!!
