President Buhari with his children L-R: Miss Zahra Buhari, Yusuf Buhari and Halimat Buhari Sherriff as he celebrates them on their graduation and Call to Bar in Statehouse on 14th July 2016The most visible daughter of President Muhammadu Buhari, Zahra Buhari, would be getting married on 2 December 2016, reports said, to Ahmed Indimi, son of billionaire oil magnate Alhaji Mohammed Indimi, owner of Oriental Energy.
Online reports described Ahmed Indimi as a director of Crude marketing at his father’s Oriental energy, a firm that deals in oil exploration and production with several projects offshore of Nigeria’s Niger Delta region.
Online newspaper, Per Second News, said the first family has been busy for the past three weeks with finishing touches on the ceremony.
It quoted credible sources in the Indimi and Buhari families as saying that the events will be held in Borno, Abuja and Katsina respectively.
The newspaper added: “Ahmed attended Global International College in Lagos for his degree foundation program. He completed his Degree in Information Technology at the American InterContinental University, in Atlanta, USA. He then 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.
“Indimi, through his father’s company has donated frequently to IDP’s and NGO programs of Zahra Buhari in recent times.
“The groom’s father Mohammed Indimi, comfortably on number 39 of Forbes Africa’s 50 Richest 2015 Lists, previously ranked 37 in 2014. He was in the news last year for donating $14 million (N5.6 billion) building named ‘Mohammed Indimi International Business Center’ to Lynn University, in the United States as part of activities of the University’s Graduating events with one of his daughter’s, Ameena Indimi as one of the graduating students.
“He was criticized for neglecting schools in his native Borno that has been ravaged by the calamitous Boko Haram sect.
“Oriental Energy was awarded an Oil Prospecting License (OPL) 224 by the regime of former military President, General Ibrahim Babangida. Incidentally, one of his daughter Yakolo Indimi-Babangida is married to former president Babangida’s son Mohammed. Investigations by Per Second News reveal the marriage has crashed.
“Zahra’s husband to be Ahmed and his seven siblings have been accused of financial recklessness and ostentatious lifestyle. A former employee at the company disclosed to this media outfit under the condition of anonymity that the Indimi children are always at war and never agree on anything, especially when it comes to spending their father’s oil company’s money, as they fly around the world in private jets, lodge in most expensive hotels, and go on expensive holidays.
“Ahmed in above pictures publicly showed off balance of his U.S bank account with the CapitalOne in an Instagram post in August”.
It said Zamfara state governor Abdulaziz Yari has been left with a bitter taste having lost out in his quest to marry Zahra as his 4th wife.
