2face and Annie Idibia , during their final wedding ceremony over the weekend received a N12.6m Chevrolet Corvette Luxury Coupé amongst other presents.
The luxurious automobile was presented to the couple right after the wedding ceremony in Dubai, reportedly, courtesy Senate President David Mark, who hails from the same town as 2face; Idoma, Benue State. Mark did not personally attend the event.
The gift comes a few weeks after Akwa Ibom State Governor Godswill Akpabio blessed the lucky couple with an SUV gift when they visited the state for their traditional nuptials. Annie Uwana Macaulay is from Eket, in Akwa Ibom.
Again, there have been strong reactions and harsh criticisms over the very luxurious gift.
‘David Mark Rejected A Bill For Unemployed Graduates to be paid N20,000, yet he squandered money by giving a car for 2face as wedding gift‘, @HadiMusawa wrote.
But other reports suggest that it might not have been a gift from David Mark after all. Some blogs report that Kola Ologbondiyan, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to David Mark, allegedly claims the gift is not from the Senate President.
‘Senator Mark did not visit Dubai for Tiface wedding rather he attended the 128th Inter parliamentary Union (IPU) conference currently holding in Quito, Ecuador. He was also not represented at Mr. Idibia’s wedding.
It is also instructive to state that the President of the Senate, Senator Mark, did not make a car donation of any kind to Tuface before departing Nigeria for Ecuador neither did he purchase nor send any car to Dubai as a wedding gift for the musician or his wife‘, the statement read.
The controversial gift however came with a paper tag which read ‘Wedding gift from Senator David Mark to Tuface and Annie‘.
