Former Senate President, Iyorchia Ayu’s Daughter Marries

Former Senate President and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Iyorchia Ayu, has carved a niche for himself as a political giant since his foray into politics over four decades ago. He has maintained his high-flying political career for years as a senator, and minister under General Sani Abacha and President Olusegun Obasanjo before his unceremonious exit as Chairman of PDP last year.

The Gboko, Benue-born politician and academician held sway as chairman of PDP but was forced to leave after several outcries by the integrity group, led by former Governor of Rivers State and now Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr. Nyesom Wike, over his partisanship during the PDP presidential primaries, during which he labelled Senator Waziri Aminu Tambuwal the hero of the convention that produced Atiku Abubakar as the PDP presidential Flag bearers amidst several allegations of financial mismanagement among others.

 After the political imbroglio, the third republic senate president recoiled into his shell; keeping away from politics to face other personal stuff.

However, there is good news coming from the household of the political gladiator.

Society Watch gathered that yesterday, Saturday, January 13, the former Minister of Internal Affairs gave out the hand of his daughter Wanger Mbalumun in marriage to her heartthrob Oluwagbotemi Olugbenga.

As gathered by Society Watch, the event that started Tuesday with a traditional wedding, was well attended by the movers and shakers of society.
