Bride Failed To Show-Up For Wedding In Ekiti
A bride refused to show up at her wedding at the Cathedral Church of Emmanuel, Okesa, Ado-Ekiti, on Saturday resulting in the cancellation of the wedding.
Our correspondent learnt that the groom, who is from Ifaki-Ekiti in Ido-Osi Local GovernmentArea of the state, was already in the church but waited in vain for the arrival of his bride.
Her whereabouts were unknown hours after the service had started.
The failure of the bride to show up, it was gathered, forced the clerics to cancel the wedding andinvited guests reportedly left oneafter the other, when it dawned on them that the ceremony would no longer hold.
The Dean of the Cathedral, Very Reverend, F.O Bankole, when contacted on the telephone confirmed the incident to our correspondent.
He said, “It is true that a wedding which was planned to hold in the church today was cancelled. The bride did not show up.”
Bankole said he did not know why the bride failed to showed up, but added that the couple had been “having some issues since they started courting.”
LADOJA/AKALA ALLIANCE: Your poor performances made Ajimobi a star – Oyeleso slams
Two chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State,Elder Wole Oyelese and Senator Lekan Balogun, have criticised the proposed alliance between former Governors Rashidi Ladoja and Adebayo Alao-Akala.
They described it as “self-seeking” and a “purposeless marriage of convenience”.
Speaking with The Nation at the weekend, Oyelese said the alliance did not have the blessing of PDP leaders in the state.
The former Minister of Power and Steel said the poor performance of Ladoja and Alao-Akala while in office created room for Governor Abiola Ajimobi to become a star within two years in office.
Oyelese said: “I think Ladoja and Alao-Akala are getting it wrong on the so-called alliance. Their approach is wrong, as they are not carrying other PDP leaders along. It is unfortunate that they are coming together for the wrong reason because I read in the papers that they came together for the sole purpose of preventing Ajimobi from winning the election for a second term in office.
“For now, it is possible to say that Ajimobi has performed in his first two years. But I believe he owes thisperception largely to the inability of Ladoja and Alao-Akala to do some ofthe basic things he has done when they were in the same position.
“If they had done it, Ajimobi would not have become such a star that henow appears to be for doing basic things. Ajimobi should not be their reason for coming together, as I do not believe he is the best Oyo State can offer and should therefore not be a big issue.
“At any rate, if their ambition is to come back as governor, the current situation where they belong to two different political parties smells of confusion. I think one of them has to make up his mind to join the party of the other in order to have aplatform. We also need to ask them if they are the only people in the PDP that can govern Oyo State, should Ladoja decide to join the party.
“Their approach is faulty and not in the best interest of the PDP and OyoState. Other party leaders, including me, do not think much of what theyare doing. It is at best another way of further dividing the party, as the duo do not have better claim on thePDP than the rest of us leaders.
“I think the alliance is a self-seeking venture. It is time they stopped thinking about themselves and theirpolitical aspiration to rule the state again and begin to think of the state’s progress.”
Balogun said: “It is a political gimmickry that has no purpose. The people are not fools. The voters are now wiser than before. Today, both of them will not get up to the lowest of the votes one of them got the last time.
“The masses are not fools. They are more intelligent than what these people take them for. Ladoja and Alao-Akala are not as popular as they think.”
Ladoja and Alao-Akala raised a 10-man committee last week to work out modalities for an alliance between them.
