The immediate past General Evangelist of the Christ Apostolic Church worldwide, Prophet Samuel Abiara, has remarried.
At a brief but colourful ceremony in Ibadan, capital of Oyo State, the 75-year-old man of God walked down the aisle with his new bride, Grace Ojewande, on Thursday one and half years after the demise of his wife, 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 by Saturday PUNCH, Ojewande, 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.”
