The wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, Aisha might appear simple and gentle, but behind those looks is a woman with a no-nonsense policy, who always ensures she has her ways whenever she desires.

This attitude played out at the wedding of her daughter, Zahra to Ahmed Indimi, son of billionaire owner of Oriental Energy Resources, Mohammed Indimi on Friday December 16, 2016.

Reliable sources that were at the glamorous wedding ceremony informed us that Aisha barred some sisters of Ahmed, Ameena indimi Dalhatu,aka Yakata , her twin sister,zahra,aka,Ya’Gumsu, and the estranged wife of Mohammed Babangida, Rahama, who is presently in custody battle from the wedding as she had negative impression about them, alleging that they had become an embarrassment to the presidency.

Aisha was said to have issued out a stern warning to the ladies not to bother to be at the wedding ceremony, promising to embarrass them if they come near the venue of the event.

Sources revealed that Aisha was put off by the undisciplined attitudes of the ladies, which we learned was the reason she pointedly warned Ahmed to keep elder sisters away from all the activities leading to the wedding ceremony until after he is officially married to Zahra.

“It was a big surprise to all of us, when we were told of what happened. The woman insisted that the sisters of Ahmed would not be part of the ceremony as she felt they had misused the opportunities they had and that there was no way she could accommodate them to the consternation of many observers,” said a source.

The high profile wedding was unceremoniously shifted following the physical altercation that trailed the delivery of the Indimis much celebrated fowry boxes.

An eyewitness revealed that trouble started that day,Nov,18,during the introduction ceremony,when one half of the cantankerous twins,Ameena,yakata,insisted on recording the event with her mobile phone,when she was told it is against protocol to even go inside with her phone she decided to show her true nature as an ill mannered lady.

The source told us she also probably got carried away with the prospect of her family capturing yet another big fish,an act the Indimis are known for.

In line with the Hausa/fulani tradition the boxed contained cash,jewelry,clothes,bags,shoes and other gifts valued at several millions of naira for Zahra and the first family.

A struggle reportedly ensued between yataka and the villa’s security personnel who tried to make her comply with protocol only for her to resist,this we learnt attracted to attention of wife of nassarawa state governor,mrs Al makura who had to step in and in the process got injured.

This incident really infuriated the president and his family and they were reported to have told the controversial Indimis that they wont hesitate to return the gifts and cancel the ceremony all together.

We gathered this was part of what necessitated the president’s wife to personally handle some of the events leading to the wedding like the photographs and write ups.

“They never left anything to chance,hence this publicity craving Indimi family would have ruined it, a source said.

Osun State Vs Segilola: Ministry Of Solid Minerals Development Probe Claims, Cautions Against Divestment

Published

on

The Ministry of Solid Minerals Development is probing the claims and counter-claims of Osun State Government and Thor Explorations Limited, owners of the Segilola Resources Operating Limited over taxation and operational matters.

The Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr. Dele Alake announced today that a fact-finding team has been set up to engage both parties towards resolving the dispute and restoring industrial harmony.

Led by Dr. Mary Ogbe, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Solid Minerals Development (MSMD), the committee will include representatives of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Ministry of Labour and Employment and the National Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA).

The Minister observed that the Federal Government has been marketing opportunities for investments in the solid minerals sector across the world and cautioned that closure of mining operations by subnationals could abort efforts to attract Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) and provoke divestment.

“ Indiscriminate closures of mining operations by subnationals raises the risk of discouraging foreign direct investments and even worse, possible divestment by existing companies. Mining is on the exclusive legislative list. The Ministry of Solid Minerals should be consulted before such disruptive actions are taken.” Dr. Alake asserted.

The Minister reiterated the Federal Government’s interest in raising the tempo of productive activities nationwide to boost economic growth, increase employment and community development.

Dr. Alake stressed that any cessation of industrial production will undermine the goals of economic prosperity, deny workers the opportunity to earn income, and further contribute to adversity.

Alake called on both parties to co-operate with the fact-finding team and allow production to continue while the issues are resolved.

“ I hereby call on His Excellency, the Governor of Osun State, Sen. Ademola Adeleke and the management of Thor Exploration Limited to sue for peace and industrial harmony in the interest of the workers and their dependents who may be adversely affected by closure of operations at the factory.” he added.
