2face & Annie Idibia receive their Prado SUV from Akwa Ibom Gov

2face and Annie Idibia got a brand new Toyota Prado SUV from the Akwa Ibom state governor, Godswill Akpabio, as wedding gift. The state government today released a photo showing Annie and 2face being presented with the SUV by the state's commissioner for Information, Aniekan Umanah. 

Not only did governor Akpabio give them an SUV, he also promised to fund the traveling expenses of 20 of Annie's family members to their Dubai wedding.

The generous wedding gift from the governor caused a lot of tongue to wag online forcing the Akwa Ibom State government to release a statement defending it. See their statement after the cut...


Following spurious and false speculations in the social media concerning the wedding gift by Governor Godswill Akpabio to Mrs. Annie Innocent Idibia, née Macaulay, I wish to state as follows:

That the Governor of Akwa Ibom State Chief Godswill Akpabio, donated ONE Prado jeep to Mrs. Annie Innocent Idibia, nee Macaulay a daughter of Akwa Ibom State and renowned artist during her traditional marriage at Eket.

That the State Governor as a token of support for the couple promised to fund the traveling expenses (economy return tickets) for only 20 relatives of Mrs. Annie Idibia Macaulay to Dubai, where the couple have chosen to wed.

“That looking carefully at the surrounding events in perspective, Mrs. Annie Idibia, nee Macaulay is a daughter of Akwa Ibom State and the gift of a Prado SUV from her governor is only a gesture of love and goodwill. Her resolve to stand by her husband on his journey right from his days of youthful beginnings to stardom even in the face of challenges was commendable and a true attribute of the Akwa Ibom women.

“That It is however unbecoming that mischief makers and enemies of progress have decided to inflame the social media with incongruous reports that the State Government is sponsoring an entourage of party supporters to the wedding in Dubai, when in fact the Government is only sponsoring the travel expenses of twenty of her family members at an estimated cost of roughly Three Million Naira (N3,000,000.00) only.

“I wish to therefore urge members of the public to discountenance the misrepresentations made out of a well intentioned act of the governor.” 

The state commissioner for Information, Aniekan Umanah.

    I'm not happy that all the other state governors are not also donating cows, cars, houses and women to 2face. I'm donating two ladies to 2face. Sorry, Annie.

    Should Akwa Ibom state go bankrupt before or after Godswill Akpabio leaves office, EFCC should arrest 2face, Annie Idibia and Godswill Akpabio and then, Goodluck Jonathan can grant them state pardon.

  40. And how does gifting a jeep to Annie who stood by her husband,shelter hundreds of homeless children in Akwaibom state,who were rendered homeless on the account of being witches? talk of misplaced priority.
    So if I endup marrying ma friend Inemesit,I guess the state owe her a jeep for trecking with me from Garki to Millenium park in d name of love.

Abi every other girls too no deserve such treatment,man is better u stop wasting Govt fund and money that should be used for less previledge,2 face can afford the suv,so why must you donate such to someone like him instead of donating buses to motherless homes.naija with rubbish

    ReplyDelete
  44. Wat a defence. So it is only Mrs. Idibia dat hav stood wit her husband thru his challenges n all in d whole of Akwa Ibom. How many women in d state hav dey given equal treatment? Oh dere case is different bcos dey are not celebraties i guess. I most say dis is a foolish defence. Den to make matter worst he sed dey are only paying 4 economic class ticket 4 20 members of her family which only cost N3M, fool na 1st class ticket u 4 buy n 3M na N3 abi. So na state fund una dey spend like dis. Wen hav u guys hav heard dat d U.S president or d prime .minister of U.K spend public fund on any celebraty on dere wedding or birthday? Na only 4 9ja. Mr & Mrs. Idibia make una enjoy jare atleast no bi una fault as una no force dem spend on top una. Hmmmmm! I pity my country.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I pity pple from akwaibom!lmao!y'all re learners!see how he is spending the state's money like its nothing!oshisco!

    ReplyDelete
  46. To me, rejecting it will be a big slap on the Governor's face. There are things we just can't do to certain people in society ( some animals are more equal than others because all fingers are not equal o). Annie is a daughter of Akwa Ibom State and she did well by counselling her husband to accept the gift.

    For those saying it's Public Funds, do they mean the Governor on his own cannot afford the jeeps? come on! A wedding gift? Even if it's from President Goodluck Jonathan, I will accept and never try to embarrass him in Public.#Copied from Romance Meets Life.

  48. I wonder why this STUPID GOVERNOR can't dole out this money out of his own pocket, instead of spending the state funds to buy a Prado Jeep & tickets for the brides family members?!!!

    So would he extend this so-called "well intentioned act" to any and every Akwa Ibom girl that wants to get married?! I laugh in Abakaliki...

    TUFACE & Annie should return the PRADO Jeep & ticket money back to Akwa Ibom state...this is HIGHWAY ROBBERY in broad daylight under the guise of marriage!!!

    BTW, TUFACE and his marriage in particular should NOT be a role model that Akwa Ibom girls/women would want to emulate...a man that has 6 kids from 3 different baby mama's!!! #SHAME

  71. This is why Nigeria is slowly becoming more and more a failed state!! So because Annie Idibia is from Akwa Ibom and stood by her man from the beginning warrants the government spending 3million naira to pay for her family's wedding in Dubai?!! This is so so disappointing!! And to top the silliness of it all they released a statement trying to justify it!!!! Geeeeze!

    In other climes celebs get even more or do we all think performing for state functions in America like the Obama inaguration is an act of charity by beyonce?

We are all Nigerians rich or poor, successfull or impoverished.

  84. Its so funny how Nigerian leaders treat government funds.."3 Million Only"..As if its not the money of the people and they dont have a right to ask what its for? I'm not from Akwa Ibom but if every akwa ibom star that stood by their hubby is to get a prado jeep worth at least 10 million and 3 million for travel expenses for their family members the state may go bankrupt. Congrats to Annie and Tuface but Shame on Naija/Akwa Ibom state govt..

  95. This is ridiculous!!
    N3m only!!
    Oh please its definitely not going to be N3m for 20 people!
    How many people in Akwa Ibom can that feed?
    I have worked in a rural hospital in Akwa Ibom before, seen starvation to the point that the 5 yr old resembled a 2 yr old child.

    N3m can do a lot, it can be used to give immunizations and food to infants and toddlers for free!

    20 people ke? Its not even that it is her mother and father but 20 people, prob including uncles, aunties and cousins, like really???
    Why didnt he encourage them to have it in Uyo and promote tourism there?


    Where are our priorities?

    A Prado Jeep + giving N3m for 20 people to travel to Dubai, for the role model citizen.

    CRY my beloved country!!

    Dusting my blue kpali, its things like this that make me look at the green one and sigh! The fact that this is acceptable, and they can come out and attempt to justify it is ridiculous!!
    See as former Detroit mayor is getting thrown in prison for under N1m. This one isnt even hiding anything, now releases public statement to justify!
    Enough said!

And no one absolutely no one of his co-governors or politicians has the decency to call him to order? I'm sorry nigeria, we have lost the plot.

  114. Always the same type of language when money is spent or about to be spent on frivolities by Nigerian 'leader's. Well i know this couple have no need for the prado suv. Three million can do a lot for damaged roads; dilapidated school buildings in the rural areas. 3 million can also fund libraries with books to educate people who need the government to assist them build a future for themselves. These are examples of things public funds can be used for and not to fund travelling expenses for a celebrity and his/her clan. You sir, are already battling with your conscience that's why you feel the need to defend yourself. Question is are you defending yourself against your conscience or the people who you know well can not change your decision anyway.

So he sees nothing about coming out here and opening his dumb mouth to say it is only 20 million...he is justifying his decision...am at a loss of words- what about other daughters of Akwa Ibom, does he support their decisions?.....I don't know about the Nigerian leaders, i mean, where do these idiots come from. God i wish i could call him one to his face...and i can't fault the Idibia's for accepthing their gift- its not on them

  120. If its from his pocket, no problem...but why are you gifting a daughter of your state that doesn't need these gifts. Does he gift other daughters and sons that are out there hustling for school fees,etc? If its from his own pockets...ba yawa, but we know this isn't the case.

  132. This is utter nonsense and is what is wrong with nigeria today where dimwits like yourself justify insensitive acts on the part of politicians. How do you justify spending state funds on an individual's wedding in Dubai? Where does it end? Are you saying that all "daughters of Akwa Ibom" (in ur dumb lingo) are entitled to said "showers of blessings"? What about the "sons of Akwa Ibom"? Are they left out? Then where does it end?
    Lets call a spade a spade you silly puppet commissioner and call it what it is! It's very insensitive of the Governor to do that. He has started a precedence so how does he justify not doing same for lesser privileged people who even find it difficult affording 2 meals a day. Or his fellow sons and daughters of Akwa Ibom who can't pay their rent due to some wahala or d other.
    Talking about supporting a fellow daughter of Akwa Ibom!!!! Bull!!!! That's str8 up fraud.

    ReplyDelete
  133. This is a ridiculous, and appalling act. I am sure that there are hundreds of thousands Akwa ibom daughters struggling to make ends meet, that could be assisted. This shows once again the lack of accountability of our so called democratic govt. This Impudence, is a slap in the face, In a time of so much strife, poverty and hardship. No disrespect to 2face and his bride, but common. Furthermore, why make it public. Why?

    Seriously? Only 3 million naira to support family members to attend a wedding in Dubai as if the Bride's family cannot afford to fly themselves to Dubai. It is totally wasteful Governor...go to slums in your State, you will see people that N3,000 will buy food and provide clothing for them or invest the 3 million as Scholarship for your Youths. Its totally wasteful to help the rich.
    I don't have any issue with the Prado as a gift, thats good enough.

    If it was 2 prado SUVs,it would have been ridiculous, but one and the sponsoring of her family memebers,not a reason to loose any hair joor.

    Many of the people criticising will love to be recipients of this gift.

    Annie and Tuface,wish u guys all the best and God's protection.

  153. OMG!!! I'm horrified and incensed by that press release!!!

    Does the Akwa Ibom State Government know how many women in the state will qualify for a car and return tickets for 20 based on the criteria they gave? You do not hand out gifts bought with tax payers money for nonsensical reasons as these!

    And if 2face and wife had any sense of moral judgement they would have rejected that gift!

  168. The gesture is good, however I wonder if this is a trend and I also wonder how many loyal daughters of Akwa Ibom who stood by their husbands through thick and thin the state govt has rewarded in like manner.

    I suppose issues like poverty, unemployment, provision of infrastructure have also been adequately tackled by the generous governor.

    Its all well and good, kudos to the govt and congats to the Idibias.

  170. NONSENSE. let him sponsor and buy ONE prado SUV for every Akwa Ibom woman who stood by their man through trials and tribulations and also got pregnant out of wedlock, so that every Akwa Ibom girl child will follow the excellent example of their predecessor and get their own gift from national funds.he he he.

  174. This has got to be a joke!!!! "Her resolve to stand by her husband [that has children with other women] on his journey right from his days of youthful beginnings to stardom even in the face of challenges was commendable and a true attribute of the Akwa Ibom women" So Akwa Ibom women are irresponsible and have children with men they are not married to abi!!! Its just ridiculous the things 'we' deem as commendable! What about the hard working individuals especially women who have worked hard in that state keeping their virtues and dignity...
