Peter Obi and Chris Ngige were among the dignitaries who attended the wedding of Chikamkpa, the son of Rotimi Amaechi, the former minister of transportation.
Chikamkpa traditionally married his bride Anita in Abuja on Saturday.
The high-profile wedding ceremony attracted the crème de la crème of Nigerian politics and business, uniting figures from across the partisan spectrum.
Notable dignitaries in attendance included Obi, former Anambra state governor and Labour Party 2023 presidential candidate, and Ngige, former minister of labour.
The guest list further featured Emeka Ihedioha, former governor of Imo state; Aminu Tambuwal, former governor of Sokoto state; and Tonye Cole, the 2023 Rivers gubernatorial candidate for APC.
The event also drew several serving governors, senators, ministers, business leaders, as well as traditional and religious rulers.
In a post via his X page, Amaechi shared photos from the event while appreciating those who were in attendance.
“It was a beautiful ceremony. I’m thankful to all who showed up to celebrate with us.
Proud father, now father in-law. P/S: my son, Dr. Chikamkpa Amaechi and Anita’s traditional marriage ceremony,” he wrote.
Amaechi was the speaker of the Rivers state house of assembly from 1999 to 2007.
He thereafter served as governor of Rivers state from 2007 to 2015.
He was the federal minister of transportation of Nigeria from 2015 to 2022 under the cabinet of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Amaechi resigned his role to contest for Nigeria’s presidency under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
He came second in the APC presidential primaries held in June 2022, while President Bola Tinubu won with 316 votes from the delegates.
