Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and his wife Dame Edith at the weekend led top government functionaries to the wedding between Omonigho Oboriovwori, daughter of the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Honourable Sheriff Oborowori and Abia state born Ugochukwu Mearaonye.
The wedding held at the Living Faith Church, also known as Winners Chapel, Osubi, Okpe Local Government Area and was attended by top government functionaries among whom were the State Deputy Governor Deacon Kingsley Otuaro and his wife Dr. Ebieri, former Governor James Ibori and Senator James Manager.
Others are some members of the House of Representatives, the Speakers of the Lagos and Kogi State Houses of Assembly, members of the Delta State House of Assembly, some serving and past political office holders among other dignitaries.
The couple at the church service made their marital vows and were later declared husband and wife by the officiating minister, Pastor David Olukola, after which they proceeded to sign the marriage register.
The Governor’s wife Dame Edith Okowa also led the congregation in prayers for the success of the union and for divine intervention in marriages experiencing various challenges.
In a sermon entitled “Covenant Responsibilities in Marriage,” the Resident Pastor, Winner’s Chapel Osubi, Eddie Adeoye, said every union could be peaceful and successful when couples play their covenant roles in marriage.
Pastor Adeoye said the key covenant responsibility of the husband was to love his wife as Jesus Christ loved the Church, while the wife was vested with the covenant responsibility as the help mate to her husband.
At a reception for guests, the Chairman on the occasion and State Deputy Governor, Deacon Kingsley Otuaro, admonished the newly wed to make Jesus Christ the foundation of their home and prayed for more of God’s blessings, mercy and favour for the union.
The highlight of the ceremony was a special dance between the Speaker and his daughter as well as the cutting of the wedding cake by the couple.
