Abisola Afuye, the daughter of the late Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Funminiyi Afuye, has walked down the aisle with her beau, Babatunde Adebayo. The ceremony, which was held last week, days after the untimely death of the speaker was a sombre one.
Afuye was not ill before, but he suffered a sudden cardiac arrest and died on Wednesday while undergoing treatment at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State. His family decided to go ahead with the wedding ceremony because so much had gone into the planning as well as the expenses which had been lavished before the sad event.
The engagement ceremony took place at the Haven Event Centre, Ikeja, while the holy solemnisation held at the Archbishop Vining Memorial Church, Ikeja, GRA, Lagos.
The reception also took place at the Haven Event Centre. Oba Adedokun Abolarin, the Orangun of Oke-Ila in Osun State who was a very close friend and business partner of the late speaker was on ground to fill the gap the death of his friend created at the ceremony. Afuye was a former commissioner of Ekiti-State Ministry of Information and two-time member of the Ekiti State Assembly representing Ikere Constituency.
