Government money is NOT in Zahra Muhammadu Buhari’s wedding - Presidency


Read below the post by Mr Garba Shehu, President Buhari's media aide:
‘Zahra Muhammadu Buhari’s wedding to Ahmed Mohammed Indimi starting today is a celebrity event to savour any day. Much as the family wants to make their daughter happy, they, however, will not make it a royal wedding.

‘In a twist from what was a norm among 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!!’
 The wedding Fatiha will be held today at the National Mosque, Abuja, while the reception will be held at the Presidential Banquet Hall.

Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap (our fatherland), we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be so strange in...
