Ondo State Governor, Hon. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, has reiterated the commitment of his administration to the primary mandate of providing maximum security of lives and properties of the people in the State.

 

The Governor stated this while playing host to Military personnel led by the General Officer, Commanding 2 Division, Nigerian Army, Ibadan, Major General Obinna Godwin Onuborgu, in his office, in Akure.

The Governor highlighted the efforts of his administration toward ensuring optimal security through the support of the conventional security agencies, including the Army.

He said: “Thank you for stopping over and we appreciate your men for providing security to the people. We have been enjoying that support from your men in Ondo State.

“We have some peculiar situations in the State, especially our borders with Edo and others. The Army has always been there to support us anytime there are kidnappings because the police alone cannot do the job.

“We will continue to encourage and support synergy of the military, police, civil defence and our own home grown security outfit, Amotekun Corps to enhance our security and protect our borders.”

The Governor also pleaded with the Military and other security agencies to ensure maximum security during the November 16 Governorship election in the State.

Speaking earlier, Major General Obinna Godwin Onuborgu said he took over the Division on March 13, covering 7 States, including Kwara, Kogi, Edo, Osun, Oyo, Ekiti and Ondo.

“I am here to see my troop across the length and breadth of Ondo State to encourage them and to access the security situation in the State. I have been well briefed by the Brigade Commander and other security agencies”, he said.

Major General Onuborgu lauded Governor Aiyedatiwa for his support to the Army and other security agencies towards sustaining the status of Ondo as one of the most peaceful States in the country.

Those present at the event included the Deputy Governor, Dr. Olayide Adelami; Secretary to the State Government, Hon. Tayo Oluwatuyi; Chief of Staff to the Governor, Prince Segun Omojuwa and Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Dr. Olukayode Ajulo, SAN.

The bride was dancing with her groom on the dance floor, while the bride’s ashoebi girls picked the money guests sprayed the couple.

A woman, said to be the groom’s mother, is soon seen dragging with one of the young women who make up the ashoebi. It appears they were fighting over money sprayed on the couple.

It took the intervention of the MC and another young man to pull the mother-in-law off the ashoebi woman.

Several top dignitaries from Nigeria and beyond gathered in Abuja on Friday, February 6, for the wedding fatiha of ten children of the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, all of whom were married on the same day.

The wedding ceremony held in the National Mosque Abuja after which they proceeded to a big hall where the reception for all 10 children took place.

Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu was in attendance and even received the brides on behalf of the Matawalles into the family.

The President of São Tomé and Príncipe, Carlos Vila Nova, also attended the ceremony alongside Tinubu.

 

Also present were the Deputy Senate President, Senator Jubril Barau, and Senior Special Assistant to the President on Politics and Other Matters, Ibrahim Masari.

Governors at the event included Ahmad Aliyu of Sokoto State, Umar Namadi of Jigawa State, and Nasir Idris of Kebbi State.

 

 

Matawalle, a former governor of Zamfara State, gave out five of his daughters: Maryam, Safiyya, Farida, Nana Firdausi, and Aisha, in marriage.

Five of his sons: Ibrahim, Abdul Jalal, Surajo, Bello, and Fahad, also got married on the same day.

 

The officiating Imam, Prof. Luqman Zakariyah,

prayed to Allah to bless the marriages, grant success to the couples in their life journeys, and bless their parents and grandparents.

On X (formerly Twitter) Matawalle thanked Tinubu for serving as “Wali” at his children’s wedding fatiha which held at the National Mosque Abuja.
