According to him, the ceremony over the weekend was just to officiate their union.
“My father is a cocoa farmer and herbalist and is still very strong but has been worried about the fact that he will pass on without marrying the lady and would be asked by God,” he hilariously stated.

He revealed their mother passed away in 1999 and they have accepted the young lady.
