Igbankwu: Owerri bubbles for Apostle Achudume’s son

Owerri, capital of Imo State, stood still on Saturday as  Igbankwu, the  traditional marriage rites,  between David Achudume, the son of the Founder of the Victory Life Bible Church, Apostle Lawrence Achudume, and Precious Chukwu took centre stage.

Indeed, it was yet another reason to be thankful to God for by the Achudumes as  ‘Daddy’s Boy’  took the first step in solidifying his affairs with his heartrob, Precious.

The event held at the highbrow Mayfair Hotel  in the heart of Owerri, saw the lively  guests in their  different shimmering attires. The couple  were adorned in  their wine-coloured outfits with  matching cap and headgear.

This  Igbankwu, by all standards, had a touch of class with the mind-blowing drapes, well decorated podium, among others added to the air of splendour that pervaded the whole atmosphere.

As expected, the Christiandom was well represented, particularly from the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) as Men-of- God took turns to admonish the couple.

According to them, ‘marriage is a sacred institution ordained by God as such,  the sanctity of the union must always be maintained’.

The couple were urged to make Christ the pillar of their home, advising them to always settle their differences amicably without the involvement of a  third party.

The Father of the Groom, Apostle Lawrence Achudume, who was dressed in white and wine attire , noted that the joy of every parent was  to see their children settle down and be happy in life.

While praying for a blissful union, the founder of the  Victory Life Bible Church (VLBC),  reminded them that they were entering another phase of their lives and it behoves on them to make the best of it.

 Present at the event were the National Secretary of the Pentecostal Fellowship Of Nigeria, Bishop David Bakare, the Vice-President( (South-East ) of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Bishop Maxwell Korie, the former Chairman (South-East) of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Archbishop Goddy Okafor, the President of ICIC, and Bishop Abraham Chigbundu,
