WHY THEIR MARRIAGE PLANS FAILED
This is definitely not the best of time for beautiful
female politician, Jumoke Abidemi Okoya-Thomas. Things seem not to be hooking
up for her as she has planned. And these are issues that have to do with the
heart. For reasons best known to her, Jumoke has called off her wedding plans with
her lover of many years, Senator David Alachenu Bonaventure Mark, the President
of the Senate and number three citizen of Nigeria. But for the sudden
cancellation, Jumoke and Senator Mark would have been married by now. Of
course, the circumstances that led to the cancellation of the wedding plans,
keep tongues wagging till now. 
Jumoke, the first daughter of respected
industrialist and statesman, Chief Molade Okoya-Thomas, is a member of the Federal
House of Representatives and she represents Lagos Island 1 Federal Constituency
of Lagos State. The 57-year old mother of three is one of the most formidable
female politicians in the country. Presently, she is serving her third term in
the House of Representatives and she has sponsored many Bills as well.
The
ELITES gathered that Jumoke and Senator Mark have consciously guarded their
love affair for many years. However, they decided to get married and they opted
for a quiet ceremony. Unfortunately though, one of David Mark’s wives, Helen,
who parades herself as his official wife, turned out to be the clog in the
wheel of that marriage plan. She deflated their hope of getting married, as she
was alleged to have vowed to make life unbearable for her husband, should he go
ahead to marry Jumoke. Not even several pleas, made by some notable Nigerians
towards Helen could make her shift her ground. Eventually, Jumoke, who could
not stomach the hoopla, generated by Helen’s resistance, was forced to call off
the wedding plan. It is imperative to add that, Mark is also married to three
other women-Omale, Kate and Randa.
Sources
disclosed to The ELITES that Helen might have put up the resistance because she
foresaw a situation where Jumoke could upstage her if she joined her husband’s
harem.
Meanwhile, Jumoke has put the whole episode
behind her, as she is reported to have moved on with her life. Although, she is
still very much romantically involved with the Senate President, Jumoke has
been keeping herself busy with her political activities and spending quality
time with her sons and grandchild.
