Class Meets Affluence at Akabueze’s Daughter and Kachikwu’s Son’s High-Octane Wedding in Lagos

HighLife

Standing at the right height, life is all about status. All complexities disappear for the individual who acknowledges this fact. The recent marital union between two great houses, the Akabuezes and the Kachikwus, proves this point. In addition, the wedding also highlighted the importance of being a ‘big person’ in Nigeria, able to celebrate the holiest of unions in the most colourful of ways.

The family of the former Minister of State for Petroleum and Group MD of NNPC, Prof Ibe Kachikwu, has gained a powerful ally in the family of Pastor Ben Akabueze, a former Commissioner for Budget and Planning in Lagos State and the current DG of the Budget Office for the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The alliance follows the fact that love can also be found in high places.

The Kachikwu and Akabueze families bore witness to the marriage solemnisation of their children, Uchechukwu, the son of Kachikwu, and Solumtochukwu, the daughter of Akabueze. The wedding ceremony was a grand affair held at RCCG, King’s Court, Victoria Island, Lagos. Immediately after the main event, an even more colourful wedding reception took place at Landmark Event Centre. To add to the glory of the event, prestigious individuals were in attendance.

Apart from the parents of the couple, who are dignitaries in their own right, the guest list also had state governors, deputy governors, and senators in attendance. Among these were Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos, Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun, Governor Alex Otti of Abia, Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat of Lagos, and top senators like Victor Umeh, Tony Nwoye, and Binani Aishatu.

The ceremony was spectacular, and every session had the couple, their families, and the guests stimulated and electrified. They showed that even those born with wealth and prestige can find love among themselves.
