President Tinubu Hails Governor Oborevwori as a Bridge Builder at Son’s Star-Studded Wedding in Asaba

President Bola Tinubu has described Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State as a bridge builder and model political leader, following the calibre of persons across political divides that graced his son’s wedding in Asaba, the Delta State capital.

The wedding between Mr. Clinton Oborevwori and his heartthrob, Knowledge Davidson, took place yesterday at the Living Faith Church, Asaba.

President Tinubu, who was represented at the occasion by the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr Festus Keyamo (SAN), said Governor Oborevwori, since he came into office, is a governor for all the people of the state.

He lauded the governor for being a pan-Deltan and detribalised governor, saying if all leaders shun political and religious inclinations, Nigeria would be a better place for all citizens to fulfill their God-given destinies.

While wishing the couple success in their matrimony, President Tinubu charged them to allow Christ be the driver of their marriage.

In an interview at the ceremony, father of the groom, Governor Oborevwori, expressed appreciation to President Tinubu, his brother governors and all guests at the ceremony for honouring him and his family.

He described Tinubu as a good man who does not look at issues of political parties in his dealings.

“Mr President has sent the Minster of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr Festus Keyamo, who is also one of our own to represent him here and he spoke very well and Deltans are very happy.

“We are not surprised because he is our in-law, the wife is partly from here so we are very happy,” Oborevwori said.

Continuing, the Governor said: “It is the joy of every parent seeing their children getting married after raising them to that particular age of getting married. I am very happy today and may God continue to bless their marriage.”

He advised the couple to remain united, saying; “there is no perfect marriage and they need to persevere because marriage is an institution you don’t graduate from.”

The Chairman of the occasion and Governor of Zamfara State, Alhaji Dauda Lawal, said marriage was a union of honour hence the need for couples to live exemplary lifestyle.

He said the array of personalities drawn from different political parties, business community, technocrats and well-wishers was a clear testament to the governor’s detribalised disposition.

In a sermon, the State Pastor of the Winners Church, Pastor Adekunle Shiyanbade, said any union anchored on fear of God, selfless love, truth and companionship will overcome all marital challenges.

Pastor Shiyanbade said the decline in morality in the society was traceable to breakages in marriage.

The ceremony was attended by the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum and Kwara State Governor, Alhaji AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq; Governors Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State; Agbu Kefas of Taraba, Douye Diri of Bayelsa; Sim Fubara, (Rivers); Dapo Abiodun (Ogun); Caleb Muftwang, (Plateau); Abiodun Oyebanji (Ekiti); Usman Ododo, (Kogi); Senator Hope Uzodimma, (Imo); Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa; wife of Oyo State Governor, Mrs Tamunominini Makinde; wife of Abia State Governor, Mrs Cecilia Otti, wife of Sokoto State Governor, Fatima Aliyu and her Yobe State counterpart, Mrs Mai Mala Buni.
