Pillars of High Society Honour Kogi State SSG at Daughter’s Wedding

These are fine times for fine people. In Kogi State, several young people were wedded last week and sent off by friends and family to begin life anew. Among these, a particular couple stood out: Titilayo Ayoade and Opeyemi Yusuf. No other matrimonial ceremony with the couples from Kogi State saw as many distinguished guests gathered together with glasses clinking and faces merry.

Friends and family poured in from every corner of the country to celebrate with the Secretary to the Kogi State Government (SSG), Dr. Folashade Arike Ayoade, as she handed off her daughter, Titilayo Ayoade, to young Opeyemi Yusuf. The matrimony was obviously something that was long in coming because all the guests were smiling from ear to ear.

Among the guests that had the brightest smiles were the wife of the Kogi State Deputy Governor, Mrs. Ejura Onoja and her friend, Mrs. Nafisat Aliyu. These were accompanied by some of the top officers of the Kogi State government who took time out of their busy schedules to celebrate one of their own.

The wedding was held at the RCCG Redemption Camp in Lagos State on Saturday, August 21, 2021. Before, during and after the ceremony, it was one canopy of jubilation after another. One could tell that the mother of the bride, Dr. Ayoade, is well-liked among her people.

To those who don’t know Dr. Ayoade, she came into power in 2016 as one of the highest appointments made by Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello. Aside from appointing Dr. Ayoade to the office of Secretary to the State Government, about 20 other appointments were made. However, till date, none of these individuals had attracted as many friends to themselves as Dr Ayoade. Those who know the woman say that she is a happy person, a friend of the great and fast-rising.

No wonder folks turned up for the wedding of her daughter in spite of the distance from Kogi State. Good seeds of friendship can only bear fruits of warmth. Undoubtedly, Dr. Ayoade is one of the best ones.
