The FCT-Internal Revenue Service has reminded Abuja-based socialite, Aisha Achimugu, to fulfill her tax obligations to the agency.
This was contained in a post which has now been deleted on the FCT-IRS social media handle.
The post said, “The FCT-Internal Revenue Service extends our warmest birthday wishes to you!
“May this special day be filled with joy and blessing. Remember to fulfill your tax obligations by filing your annual tax returns.’’
The socialite who founded and is the managing director of the Abuja-based Falak Concept Group Turned 50 on the 22nd of January.
The tax agency made the move following viral reports of how Achimugu partied with friends and cronies on the Caribbean island of Grenada to mark her 50th birthday.
The 8 day bash commenced on 16 January with the arrival of guests and ended on January 23 with an all-white breakfast culminating in a luxurious dinner-themed ‘glitz and glam’ before guests bid farewell to Grenada.
A dedicated website for the birthday party included information regarding visa arrangements, available chauffeurs, travel schedules, and the nearest airport to the event venue, among other details for the guests.
The birthday celebration was reportedly attended by many socialites and high-profile names including the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Most of the birthday guests arrived in hired jets from Nigeria while the celebrant rented Calivigny Island, an 80-acre private and exquisite location for the entire week which cost almost $1,000,000.
Some of the guests had claimed the bash to be one of the most lavish party they had ever seen or heard of.
However, the governor, in a statement countered claims of his presence in Granada for the Birthday Party while The Lagos State Government released photos of Sanwo-Olu in Grenada presenting a miniature of the Blue Line train to Grenadian Prime Minister Dickon Michelle.
The government, on its X handle, said the presentation was made after talks on bilateral relations between Grenada and Lagos State in St. George at the weekend.
The post said, “The two leaders exchanged ideas on tourism, agriculture and other economic interests. Mr Sanwo-Olu also attended some social engagements during his visit. Michelle spoke about Granada’s 50th anniversary coming up in February.”
While responding to the media buzz which surrounded the event, Achimugu insisted that she was not apologetic about how she celebrated her birthday and that Nigerians should ‘expect more.’
“Good evening, everyone, lovers of mine. This is not an official thank you for being there for me and coming to Grenada. It is a very tough time. It was a moment for me to thank everyone whom I should be concerned over the pleasant media help about this famous Aisha.
“And I want to congratulate myself for being the most popular person in the entire world, apart from the Gaza and Israeli fight, I guess something that’s most popular on the news globally. I give God the glory, and I thank God for my life. And for those who have genuinely shown concern over the media, I want to assure you that I’m well, I’m in a high spirit.
“I really don’t give a hoot. I’m doing me; I’ve always done me, a happy soul, doing what makes me happy. And again, celebrating people who love me, genuinely love me, who have always been there for me in the last 50 years and even less, but feels like they’ve known me all my life. I thank you all.” the socialite said.
