The Akwa Ibom State governor, had in his entourage, the Secretary to the State Government, Prince Enobong Uwah, while other eminent personalities at the event include lawmakers, ministers, top government officials and stakeholders in the oil industry among others.

The solemnization of the couple held at a church service at the Catholic Church of the Arch Angels, Gaduwa, Abuja.

The reception, which held at the Rainbow Event Centre in Abuja, was chaired by Senator Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe, took place

Speaking at the event, the Senate President advised the new couple to approach their union from a philosophical point of view, to overcome challenges of life.

He told the couple: “Marriage is not a bed of roses. You will have challenges even from day One. Even brothers and sisters do have disagreement. But I want you to bear something in mind: Approach your marriage from a philosophical point of view. That since you cannot say my former father. My former mother. Don’t ever hope to say my former wife, or my former husband.

“If you have that in mind, every disagreement that you have, you will settle it knowing that you are now tied in blood and that you have made a vow before God to live together, for good or for bad, for the rest of your life. Once you have that in mind, every other thing will be settled.”
