Femi Gbajabiamila, Speaker of Nigeria’s House of Representatives, is set to throw his mum, Alhaja Lateefat Olufunke Gbajabiamila, a luxurious 90th birthday party in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Gbajabiamila is reportedly spending well over N500m to ensure his mother gets a befitting 90th birthday celebration going by the calibre of guests that would be gracing the occasion.
According to SaharaReporters, the lavish party thrown by Femi Gbajabiamila, started yesterday, March 2 and will run until March 10 in the glittering Arab city.
Already, reservations for guests have been made at the Conrad Hilton Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, where the least room goes for $122 (N43,920) per night. If calculated by 300 guests, the cost for hotel accommodation alone per night will amount to $36,600 (N13,176,000).
Calculated for the eight nights that guests will be housed at the hotel, the total comes to $292,800 (N105,408,000). Findings by SaharaReporters revealed that the average price for round-trip flights from Nigeria to Dubai is currently $637 (N229,320).
When this is calculated for 300 guests, the total expenditure for airfare falls to N68,796,000.
A member of the planning team for the lavish celebration revealed that some guests have been booked for special and luxurious accommodation and that top personalities not slotted into private jets have already been booked for special seats on commercial airlines heading to Dubai.
Kemi Filani News recalls that Gbajabiamila in May 2018 gifted his wife, Salamatu, an exotic Mercedes Benz G-Wagon on her 50th birthday said to cost around N100m.
Following the controversy the action sparked, the speaker in a press statement claimed that he saved for “a couple of years” to buy his wife the luxury vehicle.
He reportedly also has a daughter, LarryDavid, that lives a wreckless life.
