In his brief counsel to the new husband and wife, Mr. Obi advised them to love each other and always work together to achieve greater goals at all times.

Also speaking, former President of Balogun Business Association (BBA) and associate of former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Chief Okey Ezibe counseled the youngest Nnewi couple to always respect each other’s feelings and abide by love in managing their family affairs to limit outsiders from intervening unnecessarily.

He thanked all his invitees who honoured his invitation to come for the traditional marriage of his son from far and wide upon the harsh economic realities now, and prayed God to guide them home safely.
