Femi Adesina comments on Zahra Buhari's 'extravagant' wedding in a radio interview

Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has countered allegations that Zahra Buhari's December wedding to Ahmed Indimi, was extravagant.

In a radio interview, he said the wedding was modest and blamed photos for being deceptive. He also compared it with former president Jonathan's daughter who he alleged got 80 car gifts on her wedding day. He said:

"Yes you saw pictures but pictures can be deceptive, pictures will not give you the exact impression, it doesn't communicate the exact thing that happened. I was at that wedding. I was the master of ceremony at the wedding launch. Despite the fact that it was the president's daughter's wedding, I will say it was modest" 

If you know our President, you will know that there is no ostentatious bone in his body. That wedding luncheon was modest for a sitting president. I don't like to compare but we were here when President Jonathan's daughter got married. You know the number of cars that she got, 80"
