Former governor of old Anambra State, Chief Ifeanyi Nwobodo and wife, Patricia, were yesterday rejoined in holy matrimony by the Catholic Bishop of Enugu diocese, Most Rev. Dr. Calistus Onaga.
Enugu State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, and his wife, Monica, were sponsors of the couple in the marriage in fulfillment of requirements demanded by the Catholic Church.
The marriage took place at the Bishops’ Court, Independence Layout, Enugu.
The governor thanked God for the successful wedding and prayed that the union grows from strength to strength.
In his sermon, Rev. Fr. Peter Akpunonu recalled the past cordial relationship between Chief Jim Nwobodo and the Catholic Church, especially when he was the governor of old Anambra State.
He added that the long association informed the decision of Nwobodo to join Catholic Church having been impressed by his association with the church.
Rev. Fr. Akpunonu thanked Nwobodo for having the courage to embrace Catholicism.
In a brief remark, Nwobodo observed he felt fulfilled to have fully joined the Catholic Church.
He described the development as a home coming and spiritual thing.
He assured that he would remain in the church which he said he trusts and believes in.
