There was so much hype around the wedding of African Queen exponent, Tuface Idibia to Annie.
The wedding, kicked off with traditional engagement held in Akwa Ibom State, and ended with the exchange of vows at the famous Jumeirah Beach Resort, Dubai.
Just as the wedding generated never-before-seen adulation of a Nigerian celebrity, it also has created a major challenge for Tuface, who until now was regarded as the star of the masses.
Tubaba, as he is fondly called, has never failed to criticise the people in power for the fate of the less privileged.
His monster hit, E be Like Say is a favourite of fans because of how he took a swipe at government in the song.
Perhaps, this explains why he apparently displayed reluctance in accepting the Toyota Prado SUV gift from Governor Godswill Akpabio.
His wife, Annie received the car along with a N3 million ($18 900) cheque to sponsor her family to Dubai.
Just as the dust caused by Tuface’s new look on government spending was settling, word came in from the UAE that he was again given a $46,000 Chevrolet Corvette by the Senate President, David Mark.
Kola Ologbodiyan's spokesperson has since distanced his principal from the controversial gift, and those who know Mark said he is not given to such extravagance.
But time will tell who exactly gave Tuface the car.
