It was a carnival of sorts as top chieftains of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) including three former Senate Presidents – Anyim Pius Anyim, David Mark and Bukola Saraki – and PDP governorship candidate in Kogi State, Senator Dino Melaye, among others, stood in for a former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, and his wife Beatrice, as their son Lloyd got wedded to his heartrob, Tiffany, on Saturday.

The event which took place at Basilica of Grace Anglican Church, Gudu, Abuja, also attracted top chieftains of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) including Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu; Ebonyi Governor Francis Nwifuru, and M
In-coming minister of works, Senator David Umahi, among other guests.

Dr Ekweremadu, who represented Enugu West senatorial district in the Senate for about two decades, is currently serving time in a UK prison alongside his wife Beatrice after they were found guilty of organ trafficking and consequently sentenced to different jail terms in May.

A UK Court had sentenced the former lawmaker and PDP chieftain to nine years and eight months in prison.

The court also sentenced Mrs Ekweremadu to four years and six months in prison, while a doctor who allegedly colluded with them, Obinna Obeta, was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

They allegedly procured a 21-year-old Nigerian and flew him to the UK with the intention to harvest his kidney for their ailing daughter, Sonia Ekweremadu.
