A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Joe Igbokwe has revealed that singer Davido could not hold his wedding in the Southeast as tradition demands for the fear of unknown gunmen.
Recall that the Afrobeats artiste tied the knot with his heartthrob, Chioma Avril Rowland in a star-studded ceremony at Eko Hotel, Lagos on Tuesday.
However, many questioned why he did not hold the traditional marriage ceremony at Chioma’s compound in Imo State.

In a controversial Facebook post, Igbokwe linked the non-occurrence of the traditional marriage in the Southeast (SE) to security challenges allegedly posed by groups such as IPOB, ESN, and what he termed “known Gun Men.”
He wrote:
“Anybody who has Igbo blood running in him or her knows that there are known Gun Men in the SE and they are Igbo, our brothers and sisters. There are also ESN and IPOB. They have used their hands to crush Igbo land,our people , our businesses.
“Anybody that has Igbo blood running in him or her should reflect on what happened today in Lagos . A well known prestigious Adeleke family from Osun State could not go to SE to perform the traditional marriage for son Davido and bride,Chioma
“As beautiful And Colourful CHIVIDO’s wedding is I regret the obvious and painful truth that the event did take place in the South East . Thank you IPOB, ESN And KGM(known Gun Men). jisienu Ike ooooooo”.
