The Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has married out his first daughter, Adaora, in marriage to Mr Arinze Ibekwe, an indigene of Odoje village, in Onitsha North Local Government Area of the state. The traditional marriage, which was performed on Saturday at the governor’s home town in Isuofia, Aguata Local Government Area of the state, was attended by several dignitaries, government officials and traditional rulers.
Soludo, who took to his verified Facebook page, said the traditional marriage was the first in his family in the past 142 years. He said this was because of the scarcity of female children in his family, until he broke the jinx, as God blessed him with four female children. The governor stated that by marrying his daughter off to Arinze, he had gained another son.
Soludo wrote, “In the presence of my family, kinsmen, friends, and my in-laws from Onitsha, I gave out my lovely daughter, Ifeatu Adaora Soludo, to her heartthrob after all traditional rites had been met and certified in line with the customs of the Isuofia community.
