The Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo, has insisted that wedding ceremony of his daughter which comes up on March 17 will be a very low-key celebration.
Damilola’s Wedding will be Low- Key, Osinbajo Insists
According to a family insider who spoke with TheCable, the “mood of the nation” is worrisome. The pending issues of 110 kidnapped girls in Dapchi, Yobe state and an upsurge in Boko Haram killings call for a sober reflection.
“Left to the VP and his wife, it would have been the smallest and simplest of ceremonies, taking place in their backyard, especially given the current mood of the nation,” a family insider told TheCable.
“Nonetheless the VP seems to be swimming against a rather strong tide. For instance, the VP’s position compels him to inform and invite dignitaries, many of who will cry blue murder if left out of the invitations.
“But for a man known for his unassuming nature and humble mien, these circumstances have invited the dilemma of how to moderate the occasion and balance out the wedding outlook considering the current mood of the nation.”
Osinbajo “has firmly concluded” on doing everything, except the church service, within the state house, it was learnt.
“This should by itself limit the crowd and ensure that the event is not blown out of proportion,” the source said.
This is coming against the backdrop of fierce criticism that followed the wedding of the children of the governors of Kano and Oyo states on Saturday.
Damilola is getting married to Oluseun Bakare, a pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church of God and son of Bola Shagaya, a businesswoman and celebrity.
The invitation cards are unusually hard to come by as Osinbajo has refused to circulate them until late.
