Celebration Time as Three Governors Storm Barcelona

These are both happy and sad times. For the individuals who appear to be on the right side of history, happiness is the handmaid they have fallen in love with. But for other people, such as Nigerian politicians who could not make anything of themselves in the just-concluded election, things cannot be worse. And so when Dr. Yemi Onabowale opened the floor for distinguished Nigerians to come and celebrate his daughter’s wedding with him in Barcelona, only the winners honoured the invite.

A gracious and magnanimous person knows how to take victories and losses. Many Nigerian politicians are not included in this definition, as the wedding ceremony of Onabowale’s daughter has shown. Despite inviting a lot of the bigwigs in the country, only a handful decided to make it a date. Of course, for those that attended the wedding ceremony in Barcelona, it was something of a celebratory event for their recent victories.

According to reports, three Nigerian governors participated in the wedding ceremony of Onabowale’s daughter in Barcelona. These were Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Prince Dapo Abiodun, and AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, the governors of Lagos, Ogun, and Kwara states respectively. Shortly before the wedding, these three trounced their opponents in the just-concluded gubernatorial elections across the country, so it was not altogether surprising that they had the time to attend Onabowale’s event.

But Onabowale is no small person. He is the founder of the Reddington Hospital, the hospital that Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo deemed to be on the same level with abroad medical institutions a few months ago. Furthermore, Onabowale is an accomplished medical doctor and a super entrepreneur, as demonstrated by his many successful businesses. As a result of all these, he has what it takes to have three sitting governors and A-list individuals like Davido and Teni The Entertainer as guests at his daughter’s wedding.
