Atiku, David Mark, El-Rufai, Otti, Others Attend Amaechi Son’s Wedding

Former vice president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar; Governor of Abia State, Dr. Alex Otti, former governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai; national chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Sen. David Mark were among dignitaries who graced the church wedding of the first son of a former minister of transportation, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, in Abuja yesterday.

Wife of a former president, Mrs Patience Jonathan; wife of former vice president, Mrs Dolapo Osibanjo; former governor of Plateau State, Sen. Solomon Lalong, were also at the wedding.
Joining the groom, Dr. Chikamkpa Amaechi and his bride, Anita Nwabueze, Revered Fr. Steve Dedua urged the new couple to be patient with each other, making God the pillar of their marriage.
The priest noted that Chikamkpa and Anita were before God as a demonstration of His faithfulness, as such, God would uphold their union.

He said, “From the beginning, God made them male and female. In other words, in making them male and female, God decided that they should come and become one. What God has joined together, let no man or woman put asunder”.

He, however, lamented that what is very troubling is the statistics given by archive dot data, fight.com in 2023 showing 26 nations that have the highest rate of divorce.

Rev. Dedua stated further that the study showed that out of the 26 nations, Nigeria was rated 11th.

“So, Anita and Chikamkpa are here to tell the world today that they are not going to be part of that statistics,” he priest stated while urging them to depend on God at all times.

Abia State Governor Otti educated the new couple on conflict resolution, charging them to learn how to talk to each other during crisis. Chikamkpa and Anita had their traditional marriage in Abuja penultimate weekend.
