Joe Igbokwe, a prominent APC leader in Lagos, has criticized Lloyd Ike Ekweremadu Jnr for hosting an extravagant wedding while his parents remain imprisoned.
Igbokwe expressed concern about the values of the younger generation, suggesting that Lloyd should have opted for a more modest celebration until his parents are released from jail.
Ike and Beatrice Ekweremadu, Lloyd’s parents, are currently serving sentences for organ trafficking in the UK.
Meanwhile, the former deputy Senate president, Ekweremadu, and his wife were not present at the wedding due to their ongoing imprisonment in the UK.
In a Facebook post, Igbokwe shared pictures from the event and expressed his concern about the values of the younger generation, stating that this new “generation scares him.” For more details.

“If I were in Ekweremadu’s son’s shoes, I wouldn’t have organized such an elaborate wedding while my parents are in prison. I would have chosen a more low-key marriage ceremony and postponed the grand celebration until my parents regain their freedom. The behaviors of this generation truly scares me”
