Political gladiators were stunned Saturday, when former President Olusegun Obasanjo, made a surprise appearance at the wedding ceremony of President Goodluck Jonathan’s foster daughter, Inebha paul.
Present at the service held at the National Ecumenical Centre, Abuja, were Senate President David Mark, State Governors and clergymen including Pastor Enoch Adeboye, Bishop David Oyedepo, Archbishop Sam Amanga, and Pastor Paul Adefarasin.
Obasanjo arrived the venue of the wedding in company of Andy Uba and some of his aides.
His introduction as one of the special guests was greeted by loud applause by visibly surprised guests.
Also, while giving his vote of thanks, President Jonathan specially recognized him.
Prompt News recalls that both Obasanjo and President Jonathan have been launching verbal attacks at each other in recent time.
While advising the couple, President Jonathan admonished them to embrace the virtue of endurance, saying they should learn to be resolving their disagreements in their bedroom.
He counseled them not to bring their problems to him because he has more than enough issues at hand.
The Primate of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, Most Reverend Nicholas Okoh, in his sermon said “Money must not rule your marriage. Allow the love of God to rule your home.
“Let God have the final say, not money. Your marriage should be based on scriptures and not your certificates which are just gifts from God.
“We must obey and adopt the original marriage if we want to continue in the presence of God. There must be Adam and Eve, anything else is an aberration.
“We encourage young people to reject that new introduction of young men marrying men or women marrying women.
“Marriage was ordained for fellowship, friendship and companionship. You must be best of friends, companion and fellowship together.”
Other dignitaries present at the service were the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha; Governor Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom); Governor Jonah Jang (Plateau); Governor Seriake Dickson (Bayelsa); Governor Lyel Imoke (Cross River and Governor Gabriel Suswam (Benue).
