Otunba Niyi Adebayo Sets August Date for Son’s Wedding

Otunba Niyi Adebayo might have been out of government after serving as the first executive Governor of Ekiti State between 1999 and 2003, but he still has friends in high places. Currently a top chieftain of the All Progressives’ Congress, APC, and one of the closest friends of billionaire industrialist, Aliko Dangote, Otunba Adebayo retains a measure of goodwill across the country and beyond. There was eloquent testimony to this when he held a grand burial party for his late father, former Governor of the old Western Region, Major General Adeyinka Adebayo, in May.

Everybody that mattered in the society was there. It was one party that good money was harnessed to send forth the Adebayo patriarch. Come Saturday, August 12, 2017, Otunba Niyi and his wife, Erelu Angela, would have cause to host high society to yet another grand soiree. It is the wedding of their son, Richard and his better half, Rennie Young.

That day, the new couple would begin the first leg of their journey into matrimony. On September 3rd, 2017, the church wedding would hold in New York, United States of America. Those who know the Adebayos know they don’t do things by halves.

They go all out. The wedding of Richard promises to be no less elaborate. 30-year-old Richard is the first and only son of the power couple. A lawyer, he is currently an executive director at Fortis Projects Services, a construction company, where he is partners with Seyi, the son of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Fortis was in the news recently when it partnered with Huawei Technologies Co. to commission the Funmilayo Mobolaji Johnson Skill Acquisition and Development Centre in Eti-Osa, Lagos, designed as an alternative to impart knowledge in various fields, ranging from catering, hat and bead making, hairdressing, fashion designing, photography, fridge and air conditioner maintenance, leather works, wood and carpentry, adult literacy and computer studies.
