Former presidential aide Reno Omokri has said church wedding is not obligatory, urging people to liberate themselves from religious bondage.
Contrary to popular belief, Omokri asserted that a pastor or prophet cannot confer holiness upon a marriage.
Instead, he emphasised that the only individuals capable of bestowing such sanctity are the parents of the intending couple.
In a series of tweets, Omokri stated: “Someone said church wedding is necessary because pastors are God’s representatives on earth. To that man, my question is this: what are your parents? devil’s representative? no blessing on earth is greater than parent’s blessing. after God, parents”
While Omokri’s remarks challenge the school of thought of a church wedding’s significance, he maintained that the essential ritual in a marriage is parental blessings.
