Senator George Akume, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, has officially tied the knot with Queen Zaynab Ngohemba, the estranged wife of Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife.
The announcement was revealed on Friday by a Facebook user and member of the Dajoh family, Abraham Double-d Dajoh, via a celebratory social media post.
He affirmed the relationship between the former Olori of the Ife Kingdom and the senior government official.
The Dajoh family described the union as “beautiful” and “uncommon,” as they formally welcomed her into their fold in Benue State.
The Dajoh family conveyed their shared happiness in a statement that swiftly went viral, marking an important turning point for the SGF’s household.
“We, the entire Dajoh Family, happily join our daddy, uncle and brother, His Excellency, The Secretary To The Government Of The Federation, Sen. George Akume Jugu Dajoh in welcoming his new and uncommon wife, Queen Zaynab Ngohemba-George Akume Dajoh, into the Dajoh family,”
“We appreciate and thank the fans and supporters of Sen. Akume for always standing by him. We enjoin every one of you to continue to support his Excellency even in this beautiful union with Queen Zaynab,” the post read.
The family also expressed gratitude to George Akume’s political allies and supporters, asking them to stay loyal to him throughout this personal journey.
Queen Zaynab, who was previously known as Olori Wuraola during her 17-month marriage to the Ooni of Ife (which ended in 2017), was ushered into her new home with deep cultural reverence.
“Welcome to Benue State, the Food Basket of the Nation, welcome to Mbakor, the seat of leadership of the Tiv nation and welcome to the Dajoh family, the home of your darling husband. Welcome home, Queen Zaynab,” the statement concluded.
The announcement coincided with the festive period, as the family used the opportunity to wish Nigerians a happy holiday season.
