The brother of former Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, has tied the knot with the sister of the current governor, Francis Nwifuru, in a colourful ceremony.
The wedding, which took place in Ebonyi, brought allies and political associates of both families, marking a union between two influential households in the state’s political circle.
The Minister of Works shared photos from the event on Facebook on Saturday.
He described the union as an act of God, saying that the couple’s relationship began quietly in 2020 before either family became aware of it.
He also reflected on his long-standing friendship with Governor Nwifuru, which he said has lasted for over 18 years and is built on love, trust, and honesty.
He wrote: “Yesterday, I attended the traditional wedding of Engr. Silas Umahi and Princess Rebecca Cynthia Nwifuru at the palace of His Royal Highness Ezekiel Nwifuru Nwakpu, Oferekpe Agbaja, Izzi LGA
“This marriage is truly an act of God. Interestingly, their relationship began quietly in 2020, long before either family knew about it.
“God indeed has a way of doing things. My relationship with Governor Francis Nwifuru started over 18 years ago, founded on love, trust, and honesty, and now God has extended that bond to our younger ones.
“Congratulations once again to Silas and Rebecca. May this union continue to grow in love, peace, and divine favor.”
