Royal Wedding: Natasha Akpoti To Marry Alema Of Warri Kingdom, Announces Wedding Date.
The Alema of Warri Kingdom was recently spotted with the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, Dr. Ado Ibrahim. The royal wedding will mark the beginning of the relationship of the two kingdoms.
Akpoti has been a symbol of hope and strength to women in Kogi State and other parts of the country after she refused to be cowed by the forces who stood against her candidature in the last elections.
Despite the persecution, smear campaign and physical assault she suffered in the last elections in Kogi State, she refused to back out her resolve to make an impact in the society.
Akpoti was expected to resign to her safety zone in Abuja but she has since then embarked on empowerment programmes and construction of roads in her home town and the recent construction of Oken-Ibilo Auchi road to end the suffering of commuters along the bad road.
After her wedding, she is expected to officially declare her ambition for the forthcoming elections in the State.
