The former governor of old Anambra State, Chief Ifeanyi Chukwu Nwobodo and wife, Monica yesterday once again united in the covenant of marriage performed by the Catholic bishop of Enugu diocese, Most Rev. Dr. Calistus Onaga.
Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State and his wife, Monica sponsored the marriage in fulfillment of requirements demanded by the Catholic Church.
The marriage took place at the Bishops’ Court, Independence Layout, Enugu.
The governor thanked God for the successful wedding and prayed that the union grows from strength to strength.
In a sermon, Rev. Fr. Peter Damian Akpunonu recalled the past cordial relationship between Chief Jim Nwobodo and the Catholic Church especially when he was the governor of old Anambra State.
We could recall that when chief Nwobodo originally consummated this marriage probably in the Anglican church in the 80s, it was ex-governor of Kano State, late Abubakar Rimi who was his bestman.
