Summary: Donna Duke, daughter of former Cross River Governor Donald Duke, marries Tobi Rapu, son of renowned Pastor Tony Rapu, in a stunning ceremony at the Athenian Riviera, Greece.**
Love knows no boundaries, and this was beautifully demonstrated when two prominent Nigerian families came together in holy matrimony against the picturesque backdrop of the Athenian Riviera in Greece.
On Saturday, June 20th, Donna Duke, the youngest daughter of former Cross River State Governor Donald Duke, exchanged vows with Tobi Rapu, son of the highly respected Pastor Tony Rapu of the House of Freedom Church in Lagos.
A Union of Two Distinguished Families
The wedding brought together two families that have significantly impacted Nigeria in different spheres. Donald Duke, who served as Cross River State Governor from 1999 to 2007, is widely remembered for transforming Calabar into one of Nigeria’s most beautiful cities and establishing the famous Calabar Carnival, which has become Africa’s biggest street party.
On the other side, Pastor Tony Rapu is a beloved spiritual leader whose ministry has touched countless lives across Nigeria and beyond. As the founder of This Present House (now House of Freedom), Pastor Rapu has been instrumental in addressing issues of youth empowerment, addiction recovery, and spiritual growth in Lagos and across the nation.
A Dream Wedding in Greece
The choice of the Athenian Riviera as the wedding venue speaks to the couple’s desire for an intimate yet elegant celebration. Friends and family members who made the trip to Greece were treated to a memorable ceremony that blended Nigerian cultural richness with international sophistication.
The Athenian Riviera, known for its stunning Mediterranean views and world-class hospitality, provided the perfect romantic setting for the couple to begin their journey as husband and wife.
Celebrating Love and Unity
This union represents more than just a wedding between two individuals; it symbolizes the coming together of politics and ministry, showcasing how love transcends professional backgrounds and family legacies.
As Nigerians, we’ve always celebrated occasions that bring our communities together, and this wedding is no exception. The fact that both families have contributed so much to our national development makes this union even more special.
We wish Donna and Tobi a lifetime of happiness, love, and divine blessings as they embark on this beautiful journey together. May their marriage be a testament to God’s grace and a source of inspiration to young Nigerians who believe in love and commitment.
Congratulations to the Duke and Rapu families!
