Cynthia Nwifuru, sister of Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru, has tied the knot with Engineer Silas Umahi, brother to the Minister of Works and former governor of the state, David Umahi.
The traditional wedding ceremony was held at the palace of His Royal Highness Ezekiel Nwifuru Nwakpu in Oferekpe Agbaja, Izzi Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.
The Minister of Works shared photos from the event on Facebook on Saturday, showing moments with Governor Nwifuru and other family members.
“Yesterday, I attended the traditional wedding of Engr. Silas Umahi and Princess Rebecca Cynthia Nwifuru at the palace of His Royal Highness Ezekiel Nwifuru Nwakpu, Oferekpe Agbaja, Izzi LGA,” Umahi wrote.
He revealed that the couple’s relationship began privately in 2020, long before either family became aware of it. “This marriage is truly an act of God. Interestingly, their relationship began quietly in 2020, long before either family knew about it,” he said.
Reflecting on his long-standing friendship with Governor Nwifuru, Umahi described the union as a divine continuation of their families’ bond. “My relationship with Governor Francis Nwifuru started over 18 years ago, founded on love, trust, and honesty — and now God has extended that bond to our younger ones.”
The minister concluded by wishing the couple a joyful and enduring marriage. “Congratulations once again to Silas and Rebecca. May this union continue to grow in love, peace, and divine favor.”
