Imo Agog as Amadi Gives out Daughter in Marriage to Abuja Based Billionaire, Okoro in Grand Style

It was simply the traditional wedding of the year in Imo State for the record time as Eziama community in Ikeduru Local Area of the state experienced a convergence of culture, class, and celebration of marital love on September 6, 2025, as Chairman of Charlvon Limited, Prince Charles Amadi, gave out his daughter (Amarachi Amadi)’s hands in marriage to an Njaba born Abuja based real estate mogul Chief Ikenna Power Okoro, amid celebration with expressed permission of both families in the presence of their friends and invited guests as witnesses.

The expanded venue of the watershed event sited on over 20 hectares of land with a lakeside at the Eziama palatial country home of Amadi lit up with glamour and excitement, transcending the bounds of a family celebration into a gathering of eminent personalities; captains of industry in the oil and gas sector, road construction giants, traditional rulers of note, Imo political gladiators, members of the ivory tower, community leaders, and numerous well-wishers who honoured the invitation of the Amadi’s and Okoro’s to celebrate their children’s most significant day— traditional marriage with hashtags: #AILOVE2025| #POWERINLOVE2025.

Indeed, it was a celebration of love, mutual respect, cross- cultural heritage between the Igbos of Imo State and Bennis of Edo State as the beautiful bride Amarachi Amadi walked down the aisle accompanied by her Edo bridal train as she sought for her groom Ikenna Okoro to drink from the keg of palm wine presented to her by the parents as tradition demanded.

Chairman of the occasion, a former governor of Imo State— His Excellency, Dr. Ikedi Ohakim— whose presence added colour, grandeur, and historical weight to the ceremony, was seen smiling and exchanging compliments with other guests.

In his goodwill message, Ohakim commended Prince Charles Amadi and his lovely wife for their good family values, lauded the son Hon. Akarachi Amadi, member representing Mbaitoli/Ikeduru Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, for his effective representation of the Mbaike people, and prayed for the couple’s blissful union.

The colourful event also featured full spectrum of Igbo tradition: the bride’s graceful performance of her marital rites, cultural dance ensembles, electrified gospel songs, and vibrant attires that reflected the pride of Igbo rich cultural heritage and the ancient Benin Kingdom.

Guests were treated to lavished meals, and served choice wines as dignitaries exchanged pleasantries while expressing heartfelt felicitations to their Chief host — Prince Charles Chukwuemeka Amadi and family— memories they would treasure for a long time.
