The immediate past General
Evangelist of the Christ Apostolic Church worldwide, Prophet Samuel Abiara, has
taken a new wife.
At a brief but colourful ceremony
in Ibadan, capital of Oyo State, on Thursday, the 75-year-old walked his new
bride, Grace Ojewande, down the aisle, one and half years after he lost his
spouse, Christianah, of over 50 years.
The wedding, which took place at the Christ
Apostolic Church, Agbala Itura, saw top dignitaries including respected Christian
leaders in attendance.
The new wife, who could not hide
her joy at the occasion, is said to be in her early 50s and a native of Ifetedo
in Osun State.
According to findings , Ojewande is a Level 16 officer at the Lagos State Ministry of Education,
worships at the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries.
Sources close to the family told
our correspondent that the new bride had never been married or bore any child
before exchanging marital vows with the clergy.
Giving reasons why he decided to
remarry at 75, Prophet Abiara had said that he consulted widely before arriving
at his choice.
He said, “My children, who are
now grown-ups, held a meeting and concluded that I should get a new wife who
will attend to my everyday needs at old age.
“After due consideration and
having satisfied my conscience that my children’s suggestion was in conformity
with the scriptures, I made up my mind to marry a new wife.
“The Bible established it that
when a man loses his wife, he has the right to remarry. I am acting based on
the directive of God and the advice of my children.”
