Niyi Adebayo steps out as lawyer son takes a wife

Former Ekiti State governor, Otunba Niyi Adebayo and his wife, Angela have every cause to rock the social scene again after months of grieving the loss of his father, Gen. Robert Adeyinka Adebayo, who was the former Military Governor of the now defunct Western Region of Nigeria. Niyi and his beloved wife stepped out in grand style last week as his lawyer-son, Richard held his traditional marriage rites. The first of the two-legged event tagged 'Engagement/traditional marriage' was held at the Balmoral Event Center, Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, with a jaw-dropping ceremony which had society high flyers in attendance. The second leg will be the white wedding where the bride and the groom will exchange marital vows. Sources said the epochal event will hold in far away New York, the United States. It was not surprising that Niyi was able to attract the power brokers from across the country even when he's no longer in government. He was first Executive Governor of Ekiti State between 1999 and 2003. While little or nothing is known about the bride, Rennie, 30-year-old Dotun already heads his own company, Fortis Projects Services, as Executive Director. He handles the affairs of the thriving hybrid construction company with Loatsad Promomedia boss, Seyi Tinubu, who is widely expected to be his best man at the upcoming wedding.
