ABUJA (PRECISE POST) – Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, OFR, on Saturday, August 22, 2026, chaired the wedding ceremony of Miss Shekinah Chidinma, daughter of retired Major General Obi Abel Umahi, and her spouse, Mr. Moshope Alexander, in Lagos.
Precise Post recalls that Shekinah is the daughter of retired Major General Obi Abel Umahi, elder brother of the former Governor of Ebonyi State and Minister of Works, Senator Dave Nwaeze Umahi.
According to the statement signed by UKOHA, NJOKU UKOHA, Chief Press Secretary to the Executive Governor of Abia State, the wedding brought together family members, friends, political leaders, business executives and other distinguished Nigerians.
Governor Otti attended the church wedding held at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Powerlink Chapel, 38 Providence Street, Marwa Junction, Lagos, before joining the family and other guests at the reception at the Eko Convention Centre, Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island.
Speaking at the reception, Otti congratulated the couple and urged them to remain united, likening marriage to a parcel whose contents can only be fully known after it is opened.
“As you know, this business is like a parcel. Once you get the parcel and open it, whatever you find inside it, is your luck. We don’t have to know,” the Governor said.
He encouraged the newlyweds to give themselves the opportunity to understand each other, make necessary adjustments and learn from their experiences as they build their home.
Otti also urged their families and friends to give the couple the necessary space to grow together.
The Governor prayed for God’s blessings upon the union, including the gift of children and the resources and wisdom required to care for their family and build a happy and successful home.
In his vote of thanks, General Obi Umahi appreciated Governor Otti and other guests for honouring the family with their presence. He described his daughter as intelligent and promising from childhood, expressing confidence in the bright future of the newlyweds.
Among the dignitaries who attended the ceremony were Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu; Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun; Minister of Works, Senator Dave Nwaeze Umahi; Deputy Governor of Ebonyi State, Princess Patricia Onyemaechi; Deputy Governor of Enugu State, Ifeanyi Ossai; businessman Tony Elumelu and other distinguished personalities.
